The Healthy Food Healthy Planet project is a collaborative civil society initiative that aims to shift responsibility for healthy and sustainable diets from individuals to the large food companies that shape our food environments. The goal is to build momentum for binding EU-level policies that hold corporations accountable for the health and environmental impacts of the food they produce and promote. Coordinated by Fern and supported by the Healthy Food Healthy Planet foundation, the project brings together partners from public health, consumer protection and environmental justice to develop a shared vision for effective corporate accountability measures.
EUPHA’s role as a partner
EUPHA leads the project’s evidence workstream, conducting a structured literature review to assess which corporate accountability policies have proven most effective in improving health & sustainability outcomes. We also engage our broad network of public health professionals to raise awareness, disseminate findings, and foster cross-sector dialogue. Through events like the European Public Health Week and European Public Health Conference, and via our scientific sections and journal, EUPHA helps ensure that policy change is grounded in science and equity, and that public health remains central to transforming Europe’s food systems..
