The FEAST projectaims to make it easier for everyone to make healthy and sustainable foodchoices. 30 European partners are working on food systems that support more sustainable and healthier diets. In Leuven, a Living Lab is being set up for this purpose. In our Living Lab, a group of people look into how we can create more collective action around nutrition through the use of digital tools. We are also investigating whether we can encourage healthier and more sustainable food choices by sending the right message at the right time. Our focus is on vulnerable target groups.

How does it work?
The FEAST project is working both internationally and locally. Internationally, we are working with over 30 partners. Additional info can be found via https://feast2030.eu. Together with the cities of Ghent, Prilep (North Macedonia) and Oxfordshire (England), we are focusing on how to use digital platforms and persuasive communication to ensure that people make healthier and more sustainable food choices. In Leuven, we are currently shaping our Living Lab, as well as exploring digital platforms, needs and opportunities for the Leuven region. Want to know more, or participate? Be sure to contact us!

Why is this project important?
Our diet significantly impacts both our own health and the planet’s. But eating a healthy and sustainable diet is not always feasible for everyone. In Leuven, we already have several nutrition centered projects, both from the food strategy and from the different project clusters of program 8 of the Roadmap. The FEAST project will investigate how digital solutions can support the transition to eating healthier and more sustainable, and act as a catalyst. In addition, it is not easy to change (eating) habits. Hence we look at how different ways of communication can help people make healthy choices. Finally, it is important not to exclude anyone from the climate transition. In this project we therefore focus in particular on a vulnerable target audience and look at how they can eat more healthy and sustainably.
