Research will help understanding discrepancies between actual versus optimal dietary behaviour. It should also develop strategies to induce behavioural changes and facilitate consumers' choice for a healthy diet. Cross-cultural and sub-population group differences and interactions with other life style factors such as physical activity should also be considered taking, where applicable, existing longitudinal studies into account. Methods for communication and dissemination based on the developed strategies should be set up to reach the consumers, in particular children, adolescents, and their parents. A cross-disciplinary approach should be encouraged. Where appropriate, gender issues should be considered. FP7 Work Programme 2010 Theme 2 Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology (29 July 2009) Funding scheme: Collaborative Project (large-scale integrating project). The requested European Community contribution shall not exceed EUR 9,000,000. Expected impact: It is expected that the results will help to better understand (un-)healthy food choice through identification of main determinants and triggers and to facilitate a healthy food choice for European consumers. Methods for a better communication and dissemination strategy in Europe that will induce healthier lifestyles in children, adolescents, and adults. Increased collaboration between different scientific fields and contribution to the successful achievements of the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.
