What is the European Food Framework?
The European Food Framework (EFF) is a pan-European project aimed at improving the health of young people throughout Europe. The project has developed a framework of competences for young people aged 5-16 years, relating to diet (food and drink), active lifestyles and energy balance. The concept is to provide a consistent, up-to-date and accurate (evidence based) consensus, supporting all involved in food, nutrition and lifestyle education, whether part of a formal school curriculum or not. In addition, the project ran five pilot projects in Europe to engage young people with the Framework.

· Learn about a unique food, nutrition and lifestyle resource to promote healthy active lifestyles to children and young people (aged 5 to 16 years) throughout Europe.
