World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) International has launched a new policy blueprint highlighting effective policies to reduce exposure to key cancer risk factors, restrict the availability of unhealthy products, and create healthier environments. The blueprint reiterates the role of governments in creating environments that support healthy choices. The policy blueprint outlines several key recommendations to promote healthy diets and weight, support breastfeeding, increase physical activity, and reduce alcohol consumption. These include marketing restrictions, fiscal and legal policies, designing healthy and safe schools, promoting healthy urban and built environments, and procurement, planning, and incentives in communities, among others.
