Understanding eating and drinking practices

UNDERSTANDING DRINKING & EATING PRACTICES

In each country, the local nutrition and health contexts vary vastly. True, eating starts by fulfilling the body’s needs. But defining a diet is not just a measure of what people eat.

It is also about identifying social interactions and about how and why people choose their food.

Through our NutriPlanet programme, Danone aims to understand this whole in order to develop locally relevant solutions and products.
