Nutritional education

Students, children and families:

Call for projects Summer 2008 received 45 proposals. The jury of the Foundation Louis Bonduelle decided to bring its support to 6 of them : The European pole of innovation fruits and vegetables (PEIFL) held attention of the Foundation by presenting " a question of balance ", a nutritional educational tool which helps to understand the role of fruits and vegetables in a well-balanced diet.

The Louis Bonduelle Foundation also supports local initiatives with the association " Le jardin voyageur ", that makes children discover pleasures of a vegetable garden, from seed to tasting.

Population having the reputation to feed badly, the students, are another target that the Louis Bonduelle Foundation touches by bringing its support to the Federation of the Student General Associations (FAGE), which sets up a prevention campaign on risky behaviors.
