The global policy discourse on sustainability and health has called for dietary transformations that require diverse, concerted actions from governments and institutions. In this article, we highlight the need to examine sociocultural influences on food practices as precursors to food policy decisions.
Sociocultural food practices relate to ideas and materials that give rise to food choices and food patterns of a group. We begin with a discussion of how individuals experience, interpret, negotiate, and symbolize the food world around them. We examine primarily the ideational pathways, such as identity, gender, religion, and cultural prohibitions, and their influence on food practices. We then provide guiding questions, frameworks, and a brief overview of food choice values to support policy planning and design. Lastly, we explore how sociocultural change for sustainable or healthy diets is already happening through food movements, food lifestyles, and traditional diets.
可持续性和健康的全球政策话语呼吁进行饮食转型，这需要政府和机构采取多样化的协同行动。在本文中，我们强调需要研究社会文化对食物实践的影响，因为这些影响是制定食物政策决策的前提。
社会文化食物实践与导致群体食物选择和模式的观念和材料有关。我们首先讨论个人如何体验、解释、协商和象征他们周围的食物世界。我们主要考察了身份、性别、宗教和文化禁忌等观念途径，以及它们对食物实践的影响。然后，我们提供了指导问题、框架和简要的食物选择价值观概述，以支持政策规划和设计。最后，我们探讨了通过食物运动、食物生活方式和传统饮食，可持续或健康饮食的社会文化变革是如何已经在发生的。
