Aspects of Food, Nutrition, and Health in Sweden

• This chapter outlines aspects of food consumption, nutrition, and health in Sweden. It starts out with a brief contextualization of the contemporary conditions of food and nutrition in the country and is followed by a presentation of results and comparisons between the few large-scale dietary surveys. The chapter then discusses the survey results in more detail, with a sociological view on dietary habits in relation to sociodemographics. The subsequent section consists of discussions about the country’s (and the whole planet’s) most recent dietary concerns that are becoming just as important as that of public health: food consumption and climate change. The final section of the chapter then provides some concluding remarks about the prospects of public health nutrition in relation to climate change in Sweden.
