Overview
About the programme
The importance of diet for health promotion and to prevent illness is central, but aspects such as the environment and performance are also dealt with. Food and nutrition includes studies of, among other things, day-to-day behaviour, choices made and habits of individuals and those responsible for diet.
This may involve both meals and diets as a whole. Learning, work with change and the thoughts, attitudes and perceptions of individuals concerning diet also represent important starting points for research. This Food and Nutrition programme is offered at the University of Gothenburg.
