During the interactive workshop around this complex issue\, experts will shed light on both aspects\, providing insights into the multifaceted nature of UPFs\, and participants will be encouraged to engage actively in the dialogue. \nKey questions that will be explored include: What are the scientific facts and misconceptions about the health impacts of UPFs? How can UPFs contribute to global food security\, and what risks do they pose? What regulatory frameworks are necessary to ensure their safe and ethical production and consumption? What drives the increasing consumption of UPFs\, and what strategies can be employed to promote healthier alternatives? Finally\, what innovations can make UPFs both healthier and more environmentally sustainable? \nThis workshop offers all the opportunity to collaboratively address the challenges and opportunities that UPFs present. The goal is to ensure equitable access to safe\, nutritious\, and affordable food while considering the broader implications for global food systems. Through thoughtful exploration of health\, regulation\, food security\, and innovation\, the workshop aims to advance understanding of the role of UPFs in our diets. \nRegister HERE URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/food-day-eth-workshop-ultra-processed-foods-myths-facts-and-future-role/ LOCATION:Zürich CATEGORIES:Co-hosted event,Ecosystem event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/ETH-Food-day_0102024.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20241030T171500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20241030T210000 DTSTAMP:20260531T050426 CREATED:20240911T092313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240911T105408Z UID:10000157-1730308500-1730322000@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:Food Day @ETH 2024 DESCRIPTION:World Food System Center Research Symposium 2024\nWhat role does research and innovation have in accelerating the transition to sustainable food systems? \nJoin Food Day @ETH to take part in workshops and discussions focused on food systems innovation and research.
