Inge HuybrechtsAll of our recipes are created by experts, and backed up with evidence. Some of our researchers are looking into the links between healthy and sustainable eating. Dr Inge Huybrechts, one of our grant holders, says:

I’m delighted to hear about this great World Cancer Research Fund initiative to publish a cookbook with healthy recipes that are more environmentally friendly.

Our food system is contributing to a rise in health problems and is harming the environment. Thanks to funding from the World Cancer Research Fund network*, we’re looking at whether eating a wider variety of foods will lower the risk of developing cancer and improve the health of the environment.

*Dr Huybrechts is a researcher based at the International Agency for Research on Cancer; her project – Will a balanced diet also save the planet? – is funded by Wereld Kanker Onderzoek Fonds (WKOF) as part of the World Cancer Research Fund International grant programme.
