Research themes

The metaprogramme SYALSA focuses on three themes :

  • Theme 1 : Building quality from agricultural production to the impact of diets on human health
  • Theme 2 : Link between food systems and exposure of populations to environmental contaminants and impact on health
  • Theme 3 : Health as a driver of food system dynamics : behaviour of players, markets, public policy, etc

The notion of “food system” refers to everything from agricultural production, food processing, distribution, all the way to final consumption. It includes material, informational and monetary flows that exist between the different levels of food production chains.
