• At 4.00 pm, 6th October (Wednesday) Zoltán Szabó, research assistant at the Department of Food and Nutrition at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs, will give an online lecture on the following topic:

It is becoming increasingly clear, both from growing scientific knowledge and from our own experience, that the looming ecological crisis demands urgent changes from all of us to survive a global environmental catastrophe. Although we hear relatively less about it, our dietary choices have a very significant impact on the state of our environment. This presentation aims to show how the characteristics of a healthy diet can be linked to a more ecologically friendly dietary pattern.

The event is free of charge for UP Citizens, but registration is required. The registration form is available HERE.

We would also like to recommend the publication by Írisz Faragó, Zoltán Szabó, and András Tálas on the Green University's DIET RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH CARE!
