Are you in a healthy place right now? Neighbourhood food environments, diet and health
Venue: Møller Centre, Churchill College, Cambridge
Date: 10.00 – 16:00, Tuesday 4th November 2014
Where we live, study and work, the shops and takeaways we use, and the social structures we inhabit have the potential to shape how we eat, our weight and our health. Many agencies and authorities are beginning to act in an effort to make the food environment healthier, but face challenges not only of evidence, but also of law, economics, and politics.
So what do we really know about the connections between the neighbourhood food environment, diet and health, and how should policy and planning be used to promote public health?
This meeting, organised by the UKCRC Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR), will feature presentations by leading researchers and policymakers in this field, and will provide plenty of time for discussion and interaction.
Who should attend?
This meeting is free of charge and will be of interest to policymakers, practitioners, campaigners and academic researchers working in public health, planning, education and health equity.
