The EPSO Working Group on Nutritional Security finalised its programme for its fifth workshop taking place hybrid (in Milan, Italy and online) in 2025
Scope of the workshop
Access to healthy and nutritious food at reasonable prices for all Europeans is crucial to promote an active and healthy ageing and the transition to new more sustainable food systems.
Geopolitical conflicts, climate changes and related extreme weather conditions have evidenced the fragility of global food and nutritional security including the EU area. It was estimated that in 2022 more than 8% of EU citizens could not afford a meal of quality. This percentage is significant higher (20%) for household at poverty risk (with an income lower than 60% of the national median). Households with dependent children, especially single parents, women, elderly and young adults are at higher risk of poverty than other types of households.
In this context, the EPSO ‘Nutritional Security’ Working Group aims to discuss and contribute to defining new paths and solutions for more nutritious and sustainable production systems using innovative solutions in the food and nutrition area.
Registration and talk title submissions should be made by email to Katia Petroni [email protected] and Angelo Santino [email protected] (deadline tba).
We look forward to meeting you in 2025.
