Over 80 million Europeans are currently at risk of poverty (ROP), and thus more likely to suffer from diseases related to poor nutrition. EU-funded researchers worked to develop novel food products that are nutritionally correct as well as affordable.
The project CHANCE (Low cost technologies and traditional ingredients for the production of affordable, nutritionally correct foods improving health in population groups at risk of poverty) addressed the need for affordable, nutritionally correct food. Exploring the use of low-cost technologies and traditional ingredients, its ultimate goal was to produce food products that can be used to optimise the diets, and therefore health, of ROP populations.
