If the current trend of childhood obesity is not stopped, more than one in three adults will be obese in some European countries by 2025.
This Science and Technology in childhood Obesity Policy (STOP) project will bring together a collaboration of 31 research organizations including the Toulouse School of Economics and its FOOD economics research group working on Food and Health.
The project is supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, and is led by Imperial College of Science Technology And Medicine, UK. It is also supported by advocacy organisations and governments from 16 countries.
It is the largest European research project on the fight against childhood obesity, costing €10 million.
