Obesity is a complex problem requiring individual and societal action and involving industry, government, the voluntary community and the social enterprise sector. Stockport Council wanted to use food systems thinking to develop a blueprint framework to tackle obesity.
We worked with council colleagues to conceptualise a food and physical activity model. We looked at the key drivers for this system and how we could leverage change that would fundamentally affect the way our population lives.
Through conversations with local stakeholders and system gatekeepers, we were able to develop a set of mechanisms to effect positive change. Primary, secondary and tertiary outcomes were mapped which ranged from health, economy, environment and societal gain.
