Who decides what you eat?

The power of food environments on consumer diets

28 June 2023

15:00 - 17:30 CEST

The Federation of Enterprises

Rue Ravenstein 4, Brussels

Evidence increasingly shows the way we farm and eat has a big impact on the planet, public health, animal welfare and more. Shifting to healthier and more plant-based diets with ‘less and better’ animal products can be beneficial on many counts. During this event, we’ll be launching a new report that dives into these issues and offers real examples of the power of food environments on consumer diets. You will also have the opportunity to hear from experts on how they can be used to influence consumer behaviours and shape our food systems for the better.

Due to limited capacity, registration is not final. You will receive confirmation of attendance closer to the date.
