Why is research on food important?

Importance (1)
Food is one the main concepts that shapes how good we feel and how healthy we are
According to the WHO, if common lifestyle risk factors, among others diet-related ones, were eliminated, around 80% of cases of heart disease, strokes and type 2 diabetes, and 40% of cancers, could be avoided (European Comission Recommendation C(2010) 2587 final, 2010).

Importance (2)
According to the WHO, within the last three decades overweight and obesity in the EU population rised dramatically > 30% (especially for the younger generation)
Resulting in a cost of approx. € 81 billion a year to help people with chronic diseases

Small user study (100 users over 3 years) Goal: predict rating of users according to eating
guidelines Personas: age, gender, hight, goal,... Findings: In general possible but also not so easy
task Hard Profiles: some users tend to only rate highly calorific and fatty
recipes very few breakfasts rates recipes with a lower diversity of ingredients number of recipes they have rated is low

WebScience Research
Recommender Research
Nutrition (Food) Research
Survey based (small scale & expensive) – 100s of papers dealing with issues related to food & health related issues
Data driven, large scale offline studies, cheap, fast – hardly any research yet – no evidence of correlation & causation
Mostly data driven, small to large scale offline „studies“, cheap, Fast – not much evidence yet for usefulness

The Sustainable Food Security call will address resilience and resource efficiency in the primary sectors (agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture) and in the related up- and downstream industries to ensure the food and nutritional security of EU citizens. Investments in innovation will support stability and competitiveness of the agri-food chains, such as the food industry, the largest EU manufacturing industry. This call will also help to safeguard and make efficient use of the natural capital as the basis of primary sectors, while factoring in climate and environmental challenges. Finally, the call will explore innovative approaches in the food value chain to empower citizens to change towards sustainable and healthy food consumption patterns and lifestyles.
