📊The FEED Europe Survey

🍽 FEED Europe, Food Security Education & Empowerment for Dietitians is an exciting, upcoming EFAD Learning project aimed at equipping dietitians with the knowledge and resources to effectively combat food insecurity, a critical and widespread issue across Europe. We understand the impact this challenge has on millions of individuals and families.

Before we dive into creating educational content, we want to tailor it to your needs and address the knowledge gaps around this topic. Your insights are crucial in shaping the success of this initiative, therefore we ask you to take just 10 minutes to participate in our survey in which we explore:
 If dietitians understand the term Food Insecurity.
 How they address it in their everyday practice.
 What kind of prevention methods do they opt for?

 FInd out more and take the survey.
