More information about the award

The Danone International Prize for Alimentation replaces the long-standing Danone International Prize for Nutrition, DIPN, launched in 1997 and represents an evolution from Nutrition to Alimentation, away from basic research towards a focus on more holistic, practical, and concrete implementation in the communities, intending to explore avenues of research to develop effective healthy eating strategies that need to take on board the fact that food does far more than merely fulfill a biological need; it also forms the basis of our identity and social interaction.

DIPA intends to encourage and inspire pioneering research and boost a multidisciplinary approach that takes account of the diverse influences on people’s food choices and eating habits, including economic, social, psychological, cultural, and environmental factors. Unravelling the relationships between these alimentation factors and how they impact the planet and human health requires researchers to build bridges between nutrition science and other disciplines.
