The European Union Project titled “Diet and Exercise Strategies for Equity in Rural Territories” (DESERT), which will be carried out in collaboration between Istanbul Medipol University, University of Zaragoza (Spain), and University of Évora (Portugal), was introduced. The project, which will be coordinated by researchers from Türkiye, Spain, and Portugal, will be led by Assoc. Prof. Indrani Kalkan from the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, School of Health Sciences. In the project, Prof. Gülgün Ersoy, Faculty Member Dr. Merve Pehlivan, and Lecturer Fatma Elif Sezer are taking part as researchers. The three-year project aims to promote health equity through exercise and nutrition in rural areas where fundamental services, such as health, social assistance, education, and telecommunications are limited. For this purpose, it is aimed to take steps to ensure development in Central Anatolia from Teruel (Spain), Alto Alentejo (Portugal), and Türkiye. Working in coordination with people living in rural areas and relevant businesses, the project will identify needs and develop nutrition and exercise strategies to address these needs.
