World Food Day reminds us that the world already produces enough food for everyone, yet 645 million people still face hunger, and 2.69 billion cannot afford a healthy diet. 🍎
At SAFE we are committed to make healthy, affordable and sustainable food accessible for all.
Through the EU-funded @ROSETTA_EU2024 project, we are working to reduce food loss and waste linked to marketing standards. 🥕
Through our Food4Inclusion project, we support initiatives that help tackle food insecurity and promote social inclusion, such as food literacy workshops for children and migrants.🤝
And through the Healthy Meal project, SAFE has built a network of restaurants offering healthy, nutritious, and sustainably prepared meals at affordable prices for people in need. 🍽️

More than one billion people worldwide live with a mental health condition, and one in seven young people experiences a mental disorder. 🧠
From awareness raising to research and advocacy, SAFE is working to improve mental health linked to nutrition across Europe. 🍽️
As part of our project Food4Inclusion, we recently launched a campaign raising awareness of eating disorders and their links to mental health. 🍽️
We are highlighting the impact of social media algorithms, which can expose young people to harmful diet, fitness and beauty content. 📱
SAFE is also a partner in the EU-funded Horizon Europe project BEETHOVEN, which explores how nutrition, the gut microbiome, the gut-brain connection, and environmental and social factors affect mental health. 🔬

As the European Parliament debates the negative consequences associated with social media use, we wish to draw attention to a critical aspect that remains insufficiently addressed in the European debate: the relationship between social media, mental health, and eating disorders. 📱 👩🦰
Social Media algorithms can promote problematic content targeting children and adolescents, which are the most vulnerable to suffering from eating disorders.
⛔ We need strong rules on misleading diet, fitness, and beauty claims, with restrictions on social media algorithms.

Today is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste! 🍎
SAFE is involved in the EU-funded Horizon Europe project @ROSETTA_EU2024, that aims to rethink food marketing standards to reduce food waste. A significant amount of food wasted by food businesses is indeed linked to standards that set criteria for weight, size, shape and colour.
As a result, perfectly edible fruit and vegetables are often discarded and consumers have become used to products looking the same, but nature is far more diverse. 🥕

Coinciding with World Heart Day, the European Commission has launched the first-ever EU Screening Week from 28 September to 4 October to encourage citizens to check their cardiovascular health indicators, including blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and take action early to protect their health. ❤️
Our Preventia project aims to prevent the onset of non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, by improving the health literacy of consumers, especially among younger generations, and fighting health inequalities in Europe. 👨👩👧👦
