In the framework of the development of the Healthy Food Environment Policy Index for Turkey (Food-EPI Turkey), a face-to-face workshop was organised with experts. Further workshops will take place online.

We would like to thank all participants for their contributions.

UCC’s FOODPATH team recently invited the rest of our colleagues on the Food Policy Research Team to join us for a workshop to discuss which stakeholders would be best placed to help us improve food environments in disadvantaged areas of Cork city. This stakeholder power analysis will be used in conjunction with the results of our Group Model Building sessions, to identify leverage points for change in local food environments.

The evidence document prepared within the scope of the work package for the development of a Food-EPI Türkiye was sent to the government office for evaluation. 

Insightful sessions have been held with professionals and citizens in Ede, the Netherlands, about systemic drivers of dietary behaviours among people living in socioeconomic insecurity as outlined in Work package One (WP1)
