Abstract
Our project centred on the (over)consumption of food in rapidly changing food environments that challenge human health and quality of life. The project originally consisted of 5 theme-based project periods focusing on evolution, our present situation, and future perspectives related to food. These five themes were: 1) Social effects in early life; 2) Food, gut and health; 3) Food information and communication; 4) Animal models and food ecology; 5) Evolution of healthy eating.
For each theme we made a plan that involved the deliverables: 1) scientific papers; 2) laymen papers; 3 workshop and open meetings; 4) grant proposals; 5) input to modernization of university education as it relates to the project The Ecology of Food Perception.
In starting, our goals were to: 1) write 3 grant proposals; 2) arrange 8 open meetings; 3) write 3 papers; 4) 1 layman article; 5) carry out data collection for one scientific paper.
The project fulfilled these goals and produced several additional deliverables.
