Young Danes to become co-creators of a New Nordic Food Culture

On Friday 4 March, 150 upper secondary school students from all over Denmark will meet Minister for Health, Bertel Haarder and nutrition researchers at LIFE. The aim is to get the students involved in the New Nordic Diet – so that they can help create a healthier, more delicious and more sustainable food culture among the Danes. The research centre OPUS, which is based at LIFE, is the organiser of the seminar.

 

The seminar is held at LIFE on Friday 4 March in connection with the Faculty’s 153^rd anniversary and is based on a theme booklet which is published that day and which focuses on the New Nordic Diet.

 

The booklet is published as part of a study carried out by the research centre OPUS into the health potential of Nordic raw materials. The study runs from 2009 to 2014 thanks to a DKK 100 mill grant from Nordea-Fonden.

 

The theme booklet is in Danish and its translated title is ‘The New Nordic Diet- creating a sustainable food culture’.
