The Communauté de communes du Diois, in partnership with the Université populaire du Diois and the Communauté professionnelle territoriale de santé, is offering three free workshops-conferences on food, health, and the environment.

These workshops aim to provide general information and practical solutions for limiting risks related to our diet and environment, particularly concerning endocrine disruptors and ultra-processed foods. Childcare is provided to facilitate parental participation.
On October 28, 2026, a conference on endocrine disruptors, led by Jean-Baptiste Fini, a professor from the National Museum of Natural History, attracted about forty people. These substances, present in nearly 1,000 products according to ANSES, can interfere with our hormonal system and have detrimental effects on health, especially in children.
Concrete solutions are encouraged, such as limiting plastic in favor of fabric or glass containers, consuming raw and organic foods, and reducing industrial cosmetic and cleaning products. Practical workshops covered cooking, making bulk bags, jar kits, and household products.
The concept of ultra-processed foods, characterized by industrial processes and the addition of additives, is also addressed. These foods reportedly account for one-third of our daily caloric intake and are suspected of being harmful to health.
The program includes cooking workshops, label reading, nutrition for pregnancy, athletes, and seniors. A conference on lifelong nutrition, focusing on health and sustainability, will be led by Dr. Fabrice DeClerck, an ecologist and geographer, along with a nutritionist.
