EU Blueprint (273,53 kB)
EUNUTNET (European Network for Public Health Nutrition: Networking, Monitoring, Intervention and Training) is a European Commission funded project (SPC 2003320) co-ordinated by Agneta Yngve, Unit for Preventive Nutrition, Department of Biosciences, Karolinska Institute. The project brought together European scientists and public health experts in order to, inter alia, ensure the development and implementation of sustainable evidence-based coherent training and promotion strategies on nutrition and physical activity. Within EUNUTNET, a task force coordinated by Adriano Cattaneo, Unit for Health Services Research and International Health, Institute for Child Health IRCCS Burlo Garofolo, has drawn up, after extensive review of the search evidence and much consultation, these standard recommendations on infant and young child feeding to complement the Blueprint for Action for the Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding in Europe (European Commission funded project SPC 2002359). These recommendations, once published and launched, will be offered to relevant national associations, organizations and government bodies as a guide to professional practice in Europe.
