Summary of policy interventions in the NOURISHING database related to fruits and vegetables grouped by region and mapped to the Nuffield ladder

Figure shows the number of countries for which the NOURISHING database describes either a minimum quantity of fruits and vegetables to be provided or some other activity that specifically promotes increased consumption of fruits or vegetables. No country examples were found for three Nuffield ladder policy options—guide choice with disincentives, restrict choice, and eliminate choice—which are therefore not presented on the figure. Some policies pertaining to general healthy eating, without specific mention of activities regarding promotion of increased consumption of fruits or vegetables, are excluded from this count. Regional policies are converted to country counts by assuming 28 countries are included in the EU, 15 countries in the Caribbean Community group, and 22 countries in Pacific Island Nations and Territories group.
