LiveWell for LIFE plays a key role in the European sustainable diets debate. The project looks at health, nutrition, carbon and affordability and demonstrates how low-carbon healthy diets can help us achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the EU food supply chain.
This ground-breaking project works with key stakeholders from the food supply chain and EU and national policy makers to ensure sustainable diets forms part of a future policy agenda.
How we work
To do this we will use the LiveWell Plates as a tool to develop robust EU public policy recommendations and approaches for adopting more sustainable diets. We will disseminate the LiveWell Plates, the policy options and implementation approaches in the pilot countries and across the EU.
We believe the project with its LiveWell diet – a healthy low-carbon diet that takes account of cultural preferences – is an important step towards defining a sustainable diet. You can be part of this work though our Network of European Food Stakeholders.

Adopting healthy sustainable diets: key opportunities and barriers
On Tuesday 5 March 2013, WWF and Friends of Europe hosted the second LiveWell for LIFE stakeholder workshop for 50 key food, environment and health stakeholders. At the workshop we discussed the challenges and opportunities of sustainable diets with the aim to reach a consensus on key issues.
