Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Food environments, where people directly engage with broader food systems, may be an important contributor to the environmental sustainability of food systems.
UNASSIGNED: The primary objectives of this study were to establish a new food environment framework that considers environmental indicators and to assess data availability and gaps using data previously collected as part of a food systems survey in 4 South Asian cities.
UNASSIGNED: The framework was developed by conducting a structured literature review of previous food environment frameworks and in-depth interviews with content experts (n = 6). The framework and indicators were then mapped to data collected by consumer and vendor surveys using the Urban Food Systems Assessment Tool (UFSAT) in Ahmedabad (India), Pune (India), Kathmandu (Nepal), and Pokhara (Nepal).
UNASSIGNED: We have expanded the sustainability domain within food environments to include consumer travel to food vendors, the presence of food delivery services, policies related to sustainability, vendor food waste, vendor plastic use, vendor utility usage, vendor recycling and waste management practices, and food packaging. Mapping the framework to existing data from 4 cities in South Asia, we found variations in food environment sustainability indicators, particularly regarding consumer transportation to food vendors, the presence of delivery services, and food waste.
UNASSIGNED: Although the majority of food environment research focuses on the availability and affordability of healthy foods, there is an urgent need to understand better how aspects of food environments contribute to environmental goals. When mapping the framework to existing food systems data, we found gaps in data on environmental sustainability in food environments and variation in indicators across settings.

摘要：
■食物环境，人们直接参与更广泛的食物系统，可能是粮食系统环境可持续性的重要贡献者。
这项研究的主要目标是建立一个新的食品环境框架，该框架考虑了环境指标，并使用先前作为4个南亚城市食品系统调查的一部分收集的数据来评估数据可用性和差距。
■该框架是通过对以前的食品环境框架进行结构化的文献回顾以及与内容专家的深入访谈（n=6）而开发的。然后将框架和指标映射到消费者和供应商调查收集的数据，使用城市粮食系统评估工具(UFSAT)在阿默达巴德(印度)，浦那(印度),加德满都(尼泊尔)，和博卡拉（尼泊尔）。
■我们扩大了食品环境中的可持续发展领域，包括消费者到食品供应商的旅行，食品配送服务的存在，与可持续性相关的政策，供应商的食物浪费，供应商塑料使用，供应商实用程序使用情况，供应商回收和废物管理实践，食品包装。根据南亚4个城市的现有数据绘制框架，我们发现食物环境可持续性指标的变化，特别是关于消费者向食品摊贩的运输，送货服务的存在，和食物浪费。
■尽管大多数食品环境研究都集中在健康食品的可获得性和可负担性，迫切需要更好地了解食物环境的各个方面如何有助于实现环境目标。当将框架映射到现有的食物系统数据时，我们发现食品环境中环境可持续性的数据存在差距,并且不同环境中的指标存在差异.
