From Evidence to Action - Connecting Food, Nutrition, and Health

What untapped potential and which obstacles must we address to go even further? What more is possible if we join our efforts to translate scientific evidence on food, nutrition and health into impactful policies and practices for a healthier, more sustainable Europe?

HDHL invites you to join us at our 2026 conference! This one-day meeting aims is to create a dynamic meeting ground for scientists, policymakers, stakeholder and innovators, in food and health, to explore both the potential and the obstacles in translating scientific insights into tangible policies and practices, to support healthier, more sustainable societies in Europe.

Specifically, we invite you to join us to

• Identify actions to overcome obstacles in translating scientific insight into tangible policies and practices.
