Today, Frucom EU - @CEEREAL event took place in Brussels. We would like to thank all the participants for attending!

Today, CEEREAL & Frucom EU are organising their joint agri-food conference emphasising the need to act together for healthier diets and more sustainable food systems In her introductory speech, Ece Nevra Durukan, President of CEEREAL, emphasised that collective action is essential in addressing the dual challenge of promoting healthier diets and establishing more sustainable food systems: “While we have scientific knowledge regarding what constitutes a healthy diet, effecting behavioural change requires a collaborative effort involving information dissemination, communication, and education on the health benefits associated with the foods we consume. This can only be achieved through the cooperation of both the private and public sectors. The #WholeGrain Partnership serves as an exemplary model in this regard.” She added: “Adopting a plant-based diet significantly contributes to the development of more sustainable food systems, but even in this context, partnership across the entire value chain is crucial – from the farm to the fork, or as we express it in our CEEREAL manifesto: from seed to spoon.” The conference featured European Commission DG ENVI Director Aurel Ciobanu-Dordea and DG SANTE Director Klaus Berend as keynote speakers. They gave an outlook on what they believed is awaiting industry with regards to environmental and food-related legislation. Speakers on #foodsafety, #sustainability and #nutrition from both the EU and beyond completed the list of distinguished speakers who gave practical insights and examples on how cooperation can work for the benefit of the consumers, the public and private sectors. Thank you to the speakers from the European Commission, Anna Hjort, Rebeca Fernández Fernández and many many more - and our audience! A big thank you to colleagues from Frucom EU/CEEREAL including Anna Boulova, Martina Zurli, Lebo Mofolo, João Pereira for organising this event! 👉 Have a look at the CEEREAL Manifesto and other materials here: https://lnkd.in/dX6GWPy8
