Spotlight on what we eat – Vegetables from France to EuropeLouis Bonduelle Foundation 2010 Conference

01.06.10: Fruit and Vegetable Consumption from France to Europe

How is our consumption of fruit and vegetables evolving? What are the determining factors? What are the obstacles? Researchers and those involved in the evolution of food behaviours discussed various socio-economic and epidemiological approaches during the Louis-Bonduelle Foundation Conference.

The Foundation’s goal is to take action one day at a time so that Europeans move on from theory to practice and eventually adopt healthy eating reflexes, and programmes which have been proven effective were the subject of detailed presentations.
