The 8th edition of the EGEA Conference was held in Lyon from November 7th to 9th, 2018. These 3 days of multidisciplinary exchange made it possible to get a full picture of knowledge on food and chronic diseases prevention; to identify keys for doctors so that they allocate more time to prevention in their practice; but also to strengthen broader recommendations to make the food system healthier and more sustainable.

The link between eating and health has been known for a long time. WHO considers unhealthy diet as one of the major risk factor for our health, just like tobacco and alcohol. Obesity affects one in eight adults in the world. In Europe, one in three children is either overweight or obese.<\/p>\n

    A challenge requiring the contribution of everyone<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    To encourage healthy lifestyle and let the healthy choice be the easiest, the contribution of everyone is required. This challenge is not only on an individual level, but it is based above all on political and societal choices on health, agriculture or education. Because these fields shape the environment in which individual evolve and condition their choices.<\/p>\n
