Indonesia, like other low – middle income countries is immersed in a nutrition transition, reflected by changes in the diversification and health of dietary patterns across populations (Lipoeto et al., 2004; Popkin, 2006a). In developing countries this transition is driven by economic development, urbanisation and globalisation, along with changes to the food supply and the increasing dominance of multinational food companies (Moodie et al., 2013; Popkin, 2002, 2006b). The double burden of malnutrition sees increasing symptoms of overnutrition, obesity and non-communicable diseases, occurring alongside the prevailing symptoms of undernutrition, protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies (Popkin, 2006a). This transition, and the subsequent consequences, pose new population health challenges for policy makers. Thoughtful research is required to direct public health policy and interventions to tackle the consequences of nutrition transition. Indonesian scientists face many challenges to research and international publication (Teixeira da Silva & Winarto, 2013) and more opportunities for them to inform the body of nutrition transition work are required and welcome. The papers in this special issue highlight many of the health and nutritional issues facing at-risk populations in Indonesia, including indigenous and rural populations and the urban poor. Consistent with the nutrition transition in which Indonesia finds itself, there are studies that examine food insecurity and undernutrition and those that focus on obesity. The nutrition topics range from food purchasing and dietary practices to approval of food marketing to integrating nutrition messages into educational storytelling. The inclusion of a number of papers utilising qualitative methodology allows a deeper dive into recording communities attitudes and behaviours. The results should be welcomed by policy makers providing pointers for targeted preventive approaches in at-risk communities. Low-income and indigenous communities commonly shoulder a major burden of malnutrition (Müller & Krawinkel, 2005; Toyama et al., 2001). Understanding how resilient individuals and communities cope and manage food insecurity is crucial to allow policy makers to reinforce and encourage strategies to mitigate malnutrition (Davies, 2016). In this issue, Nurbaya and colleagues qualitatively compare the coping tactics of food secure and insecure households with young children of the Kaluppini indigenous people in South Sulawesi (Nurbaya, Kekalih & Februhartanty, 2019). Both food secure and insecure households reported making dietary changes, such as reducing consumption or substituting foods, borrowing food or money, and engaging in traditional coping strategies, such as food sharing. A difference highlighted between the two groups was the capacity for members of the food secure households to travel outside the village to other islands or internationally to generate income. While signifying an adaptable livelihood, the loss of family members to outside work has family and community repercussions. The authors identify the need for appropriate food and agriculture programmes such as home gardens. Importantly, vi more work is required to develop cultural stability and adaptive capacity to allow communities to respond to the variability of food supply. In a different community, the food purchasing behaviour of women dwelling in urban slums in East Jakarta was investigated by Sufyan and colleagues (2019). Paralleling the previous study, women’s food acquisition was influenced by multiple environmental factors. These included food accessibility and convenience, family pressures, time availability, cost efficiency, and food store marketing tactics. The researchers found that most women, who were responsible for their family food provision, purchased ready-to-eat foods rather than cooking them at home, for either their family or themselves. These energy-dense, nutrient-poor meals, available at the local store, were signalled by the researchers as potential contributors to obesity. The vulnerability of urban slum dwellers to restricted dietary diversity, including more convenience and less whole foods, is supported by others’ work in urban slums. Kimani-Murage and colleagues (2014) noted that complex nature of chronic poverty and the high levels of food insecurity in urban slum settings in Nairobi, Kenya, often engendered the use of coping strategies that negatively impacted on health. Sufyan and colleagues (2019) provide a detailed account of food acquisition within the context of an urban slum setting and highlights the complex web of factors contributing to nutrition related health. Broad community, academic and policy player engagement will be required to transform the local and international evidence and experience into sustainable action at the local level. Food marketing and communication in low-middle income countries is influential in food purchasing and consumption (Hastings et al., 2003). This marketing influences consumers
