What role can whole grains play in supporting heart health and prevention?
On the occasion of the 8th International Whole Grain Day, launched by the ICC WGI, this breakfast event will bring together policymakers, public health experts, academia and industry to discuss how whole grains can contribute to healthier diets and help reduce the burden of cardiovascular and other non-communicable diseases.
Members of WGI will gather with whole grain experts and members of the European Parliament to discuss how whole grains can support health throughout all stages of life.
The conversation will focus on evidence, policy and practical action, from strengthening dietary guidelines to better integrating whole grains into public health strategies.
The programme will bring together perspectives from across health, science, academia and industry, with keynote contributions from WHO Europe and EAT.
Together, participants will explore how to bridge the gap between scientific evidence and practical implementation, helping to put whole grains more firmly at the heart of prevention.
The program of the event is available here.
