Chair of Public Health Nutrition
Our diets are a key determinant of human health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. The prevalence of chronic diet-related diseases, including obesity and diabetes mellitus, is increasing globally. After decades of progress, the number of people suffering hunger and undernutrition is rising again since the 2010s. Effective food policies that create food environments supportive of healthy and sustainable diets on a population level are crucial for progress on these issues. The Chair of Public Health Nutrition at the University of Bayreuth addresses this challenge through policy-focused effectiveness and implementation research on the regional, national and international level, working with a strong network of partners in research, policy and practice.
