Reduce malnutrition: strategies in a sustainable framework

Task 6.2.1.

Identification of sustainable tailored multidimensional approach including nutritional strategies aimed at reducing malnutrition in target specific populations by exploiting the interactions between environment, food, genotype and phenotype: a) analysis of the positive and negative interactions between lifestyle, socioeconomic status, clinical condition, psychological distress, medical treatment and diet for the implementation of sustainable dietary patterns; b) malnutrition biomarker validation; c) draft of sustainable nutritional protocols (in connection with Spoke 1 and 4).

Task 6.2.2.

Development and application of in vitro, in vivo and in silico experimental models for the understanding of the mechanism of action in counteracting malnutrition of new sustainable bioactive molecules from different matrices (in connection with Spoke 2, 3 and 4).

Task 6.2.3.

Design of a friendly end user personalised web responsive application for remote promoting and monitoring of sustainable target specific dietary patterns. The responsiveness features of the application will be made available on different devices (e.g., PC, smartphone)
