The SWITCH Project is pleased to announce the launch of its inaugural Project Magazine.
29 June 2024 – The SWITCH Project is proud to announce the launch of the first edition of its Magazine. This comprehensive publication provides an engaging and detailed overview of the progress and achievements made during the first eighteen months of the SWITCH Project, funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe.
The SWITCH Project is committed to transforming European food systems to facilitate a just, healthy, and sustainable food transition through the application of knowledge and innovation. This ambitious initiative aims to disseminate best practices related to sustainable diets, ensuring that they are not only understood but also implemented across various European regions where the project’s Food Hubs are actively engaging communities.
The magazine not only disseminates scientific insights in a clear and accessible manner but also highlights the innovative aspects of the SWITCH Project. By focusing on the entire food supply chain, from production to consumption, SWITCH aims to foster a broader awareness and adoption of healthy and sustainable food systems within the European Union. The project addresses training gaps and accessibility issues to support the large-scale adoption of healthy dietary patterns, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
