MOre VEggies than sweets ‐ MOVE

MOre VEggies than sweets ‐ MOVE Tuesday July 4th 2017. 14:00‐16:00 AAU Copenhagen, Campus Sydhavn

The main goal of VeggiEAT (www.veggieat.eu) is to increase knowledge and understanding of the determinants of vegetable acceptability (liking), consumption/intake, through sensory characteristics and aspects of the eating environment across all age groups and institutional settings. For the first time research has been conducted which disaggregates vegetables from fruits and where data have been collected in real life settings from four countries, Denmark, France, Italy and the UK. At this closing event we would like to show some examples of HOW intake of fruit and veggies can be increased by means of environmental and educational strategies. We will show some appetizers of how technology can help and how small nudges can assist in increasing intake.
