The FOOD Road Show
In October 2009, a double-decker bus customised with the FOOD colors drove through the main cities of the six participating countries, officially launching the communication campaign to the target audiences. The tour enabled the partners, with the collaboration of nutritionists, dietitians and chefs, to explain the FOOD project and to show the first communication tools created. The journey started in Paris and then continued on to Brussels, Stockholm, Prague, and Milan ending in Madrid.

The conference at the European Parliament
Following the wish of the partners to continue the FOOD project by adapting it into a programme, a conference had been organised to mark the transition. The conference was held on 31 May, 2011, at the European Parliament, during the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union

The FOOD restaurants network
A network of dedicated restaurants that adhere to the national FOOD recommendations was created in the participating countries, thought as the most effective way to reconnect the offer and the demand sides of balanced nutrition. The network is composed of almost 3000 restaurants.

One of the communication tools produced in the framework of the FOOD programme by the Portuguese partners, the Alimentação Inteligente - Coma melhor, poupe mais  book [translation: Smart Food - Eat better, save more], won the Portuguese Food and Nutrition Awards 2013 in the Mobilization Initiative category. .

The FOOD Awards
The Spanish partners of the FOOD programme organised the Premios FOOD 2014 [translation: FOOD Awards 2014], with the objective of rewarding the healthiest restaurant already part of the FOOD network in Spain. The final step took place in Madrid on 6 May 2014, with the reputed Spanish Chef Pedro Larumbe cooking the three finalists' menus. The jury was composed of four gastronomy bloggers and a FOOD partner's representative, who attributed the first prize to Sportdiet restaurant.
