DietWise: Systemic Solutions to Enhance Healthy and Sustainable Food Provision and Cooking at Home
Prolepsis is partner in a new Horizon Europe project called DietWise: Systemic Solutions to Enhance Healthy and Sustainable Food Provision and Cooking at Home, coordinated by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. The project was officially launched on November 1st 2024 and it will last for three years.
DietWise is an EU-funded initiative dedicated to revolutionizing food consumption patterns across Europe
DietWise mission is to tackle the pressing challenges of unhealthy and unsustainable eating habits by empowering individuals to make informed, healthier, and environmentally conscious food choices. The project seeks to enhance the uptake of beneficial tools and applications, improve food literacy, and promote healthy and sustainable diets. It will also develop policy recommendations and integrity guidelines for the industry.
The project focuses on systemic changes, inclusion, and social innovations in food practices
The main goals are to address unhealthy and unsustainable food consumption by developing innovative approaches that streamline existing tools and applications. There will be a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including surveys, interviews, and experiments, to understand food environments and citizen needs. It will also involve co-creation with stakeholders to develop and test new tools and interventions.
Key innovations include the Responsible Cooking Alliance (RCA), a voluntary reporting system for influencers and food environment actors, and RecipeWatch, an AI-powered app that suggests personalized corrections to online recipes to align with nutrition guidelines.
The DietWise consists of 10 (ten) organizations from 3 (three) European countries: Belgium, Greece and Lithuania.
