ATNI speaks at EU Platform meeting

The EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health started in March 2005 with the purpose to create a forum for actors at European level who can commit their membership to engage in concrete actions designed to contain or reverse current health trends.

As underlined in the White Paper on Strategy for Europe on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity related health issues, the European Commission considers that the development of effective partnerships must be the cornerstone of Europe’s response to tackling nutrition, overweight and obesity and their related health problems. At the September Platform meeting, Inge Kauer presented how the Access to Nutrition Index can contribute to the Platform`s objectives and measure the efforts of private sector to tackle obesity.
