Supporting consumers in making healthy lifestyle choices and informed nutrition decisions

FrieslandCampina supports consumers around the world in makingwell- informed nutrition choices and adopting healthy lifestyles. Through nutrition education and lifestyle programmes, we help children, parents and families put healthy habits into practice in their daily lives.

Nutrition and lifestyle education programmes

Our programmes combine nutrition education, physical activity and access to nutritious food. They are developed and implemented in collaboration with governments, educational institutions, health organisations and other partners, and are based on national dietary and physical activity guidelines. In this way, we contribute to greater knowledge of nutrition, healthy lifestyles and the importance of developing healthy habits from an early age.

Healthy habits start early

Good nutrition and healthy habits during childhood contribute to growth, development and learning outcomes. That is why FrieslandCampina supports school programmes around the world that combine access to nutritious dairy with nutrition education. Our programmes go beyond providing access to nutritious food. They combine access to nutrition with education on healthy eating and lifestyle habits, helping children develop knowledge and behaviours that support their wellbeing and development from an early age.
