Summary
This referee report by Marco Springmann assesses a comprehensive framework paper linking environmental change to population nutrition and health, with particular attention to fruits and vegetables as key mediators. Approved with reservations, the report suggests the framework makes a substantive conceptual contribution to understanding food systems–nutrition–health pathways, though referees identified areas requiring clarification or refinement. As a peer review rather than primary research, the report's value lies in its synthesis of reviewer feedback on the framework's scope, coherence and applicability.
UK applicability
The framework's emphasis on fruits and vegetables and environmental change is relevant to United Kingdom policy contexts (e.g. food security, dietary guidance, climate adaptation), though the scope and focus of the original framework paper—which this review assesses—would determine specific applicability to UK agricultural systems or public health priorities.
Key measures
