 Power is essential to understanding global health and its policy and governance processes, particularly when it comes to food systems and their impact on population nutrition. Researchers have begun to explore this topic, but more needs to be done to fully understand the role of power in food systems. This paper reviews existing literature on power in relation to food systems and provides guidance on how to assess power in empirical research, as well as strategies for addressing power in order to improve food systems for better nutrition, health, and well-being.
