  1. Objectives The objective is to examine the complex interactions between food intake and metabolism, immune system, genetic background and environmental factors to identify key risk factors and develop common European databases

  2. From Fork to Farm Food intake Production systems: Agriculture Fisheries Aquaculture Health and well-being of consumers Safe, high-quality foods Processing Environ- mental factors From Farm to Fork

  3. Human Being Environmental Factors Food/Diet Food Chain e.g. chemicals, water, allergens Agriculture Fisheries ‘From Farm to Fork’  ‘From Fork to Farm’

  4. Health and well-being of consumers Food intake

  5. Epidemiological studies of the effect of diet, food composition and lifestyle factors on the health of consumers => • specific population groups (e.g. children); • specific diseases (e.g. metabolic disorders, allergies) • Methodologies for measuring and analysing food composition and dietary intake; • Influences of genetic variability (e.g. trhough advances in functional genomics).

  6. Food metabolism Food intake Immune system Identification of key risk factors Development of databases Genetic background Environment

  7. Topics derived from EoI selected by priority 5 experts • Validated food information database for Europe • Gene-nutrient interaction • Epidemiology of food allergy • Lipid metabolism and chronic diseases • Influence of nutrition and lifestyle
