Food, Drink & Agriculture
Eating well is at the heart of well-being. But today’s food and drink environments are not conducive to good health. This EPHA campaign advocates for evidence-based policies to reshape our food system so it helps prevent, rather than promote diseases.
In particular, it works to free Europe’s youth from alcohol and unhealthy food marketing, advance sustainable healthy diets for all, and reinvent the EU’s common agricultural policy.
