This season #AnnualFoodAgenda goes viral. Researchers from IARFR PAS and MASPEX experts will engage with consumers through an online educational campaign based on a series of specially designed infographics addressing the topics of food trust, healthy nutrition and sustainability. For about 4 weeks we will use the most popular social media platforms to invite the general public to think about their dietary choices and upgrade their consumer behaviours. The infographics will facilitate them getting a better understanding of food allergies, gluten-related disorders, prebiotics and antioxidants. The consumers will investigate the secrets behind Japanese longevity and the valuable ingredients hidden in locally available fruits and vegetables. What is more, we will provide them with a set of tips on how to follow the ‘zero waste’ trend and prepare gluten-free meals at home. The online campaign wil be supported by one of Poland’s most popular science museums called “Center for Modernity – Mill of Knowledge”.
