Environmental sustainability of food systems and diets, open virtual symposium

This symposium presents leading experts in Europe in the fields of nutritional epidemiology and nutritional biochemistry and aims to strengthen networking in the context of environmentally sustainable foods and diets.

Dietary recommendations and food product innovations supporting wellbeing of both people and the planet are hot and current topics in research and in public discussion. Although tools to improve the sustainability of diets have been recognized, many consumer and human physiological issues still set major challenges to the full exploitation of many environmentally sustainable food and nutrient sources. Interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge transfer are needed to find the best methods and solutions to address these challenges.
