Food, Nutrition and Health
What we eat and drink has a major impact on our daily lives, regardless of our age. Many people across the world are eating suboptimal diets. On the one hand this leads to malnutrition and on the other to chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. At the same time, the world's natural resources are becoming more scarce, calling for the replacement of animal protein with sustainable plant-based foods. Discover which angle on nutrition & health fits your interests.
