Abstract

Triple duty actions have been proposed as a way to address the global syndemic of undernutrition, obesity and environmental sustainability with finite resources, by targeting the three components simultaneously. This scoping review investigated which triple duty actions had been carried out or recommended in the literature. A search of 4747 peer reviewed studies identified 27 articles describing triple duty actions. Information on the action, actors and pathways to outcomes was extracted and assessed. Nine triple duty action areas were identified in addition to those summarized in existing reviews. Despite recent interest in this topic, only six articles covered existing (as opposed to recommended) actions, and many articles were weak on addressing one of the three components, despite being framed as triple duty. Many articles stopped short of suggesting how actions could be carried out in practice and by whom. These gaps suggest that evidence on the explicit integration of nutrition and environmental sustainability in policies and programmes is nascent in the literature.

应对全球营养不良、肥胖和环境可持续性综合症的三重责任行动：范围界定审查

有人提出，三重责任行动是利用有限资源解决营养不良、肥胖和环境可持续性等全球综合问题的一种方法，其目标是同时解决这三个问题。本次范围界定审查调查了文献中已开展或建议开展的三重责任行动。通过对 4747 项同行评审研究的搜索，发现了 27 篇介绍三重责任行动的文章。提取并评估了有关行动、参与者和成果途径的信息。除了现有综述中总结的内容外，还确定了九个三重责任行动领域。尽管最近人们对这一主题很感兴趣，但只有六篇文章涉及了现有的（而不是建议的）行动，而且许多文章尽管被定为三重责任，但在涉及三个组成部分中的一个方面却很薄弱。许多文章没有提出如何在实践中开展行动以及由谁来开展行动。这些差距表明，有关将营养和环境可持续性明确纳入政策和计划的证据在文献中尚属空白。

期刊介绍： Food Security is a wide audience, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to the procurement, access (economic and physical), and quality of food, in all its dimensions. Scales range from the individual to communities, and to the world food system. We strive to publish high-quality scientific articles, where quality includes, but is not limited to, the quality and clarity of text, and the validity of methods and approaches. Food Security is the initiative of a distinguished international group of scientists from different disciplines who hold a deep concern for the challenge of global food security, together with a vision of the power of shared knowledge as a means of meeting that challenge. To address the challenge of global food security, the journal seeks to address the constraints - physical, biological and socio-economic - which not only limit food production but also the ability of people to access a healthy diet. From this perspective, the journal covers the following areas: Global food needs: the mismatch between population and the ability to provide adequate nutrition Global food potential and global food production Natural constraints to satisfying global food needs: § Climate, climate variability, and climate change § Desertification and flooding § Natural disasters § Soils, soil quality and threats to soils, edaphic and other abiotic constraints to production § Biotic constraints to production, pathogens, pests, and weeds in their effects on sustainable production The sociological contexts of food production, access, quality, and consumption. Nutrition, food quality and food safety. Socio-political factors that impinge on the ability to satisfy global food needs: § Land, agricultural and food policy § International relations and trade § Access to food § Financial policy § Wars and ethnic unrest Research policies and priorities to ensure food security in its various dimensions.
