Join the virtual launch of the new OECD Centre for Well-being, Inclusion, Sustainability and Equal Opportunity (WISE)'s report on Promoting Social Connectedness Through Food, supported by Ajinomoto, which will include a presentation of key insights from the report alongside high-level remarks and an expert panel discussion.
As loneliness and social isolation rise on the policy agenda, the report draws on food-centered case studies to contribute to practical knowledge on how government and non-government actors can work together to boost opportunities and spaces for connection within communities. It explores how growing, preparing, and eating food with others can provide accessible and adaptable ways to improve connectedness and broader well-being outcomes, including for populations facing greater barriers to social participation (such as elderly or socio-economically disadvantaged people).
