The Polytechnique Institute UniLaSalle is a non-profit higher education institution (under the 1901 Law) established in 1854. It offers programs in Earth, Life and Environmental Sciences, Digital Technology, and Energy. In 2001, UniLaSalle created the first post-secondary engineering program entirely dedicated to the close links between food and health.
The suggested project, “ALIMCARE,” is being implemented in response to the increase in chronic diseases caused by poor diet. Its objective is to enhance the skills of young learners, their teachers, and professionals in the fields of catering, health, and personal care, both at home and in facilities. It aims to integrate nutrition as a tool for health prevention and as a continuation of care without sacrificing the pleasure of eating, as well as to improve knowledge and practices regarding healthy and sustainable eating to prevent these diseases in the general population.
