Food consumer science : lessons learnt from FP projects in the field of food and consumer science

This publication produced by the Directorate General Research (DG Research) of the European Commission brings together some project results in the filed of food consumer science. Understanding consumer choice through consumer science is an essential basis for any policy-making on diet and nutrition. It can also make a major contribution to the well-being and healthy ageing of European citizens. This publication might contribute to increase awareness on the importance of consumer's role in the food area, providing examples of EU-funded projects to scientists and other interested people not yet familiar with this discipline.
