- develop and provide to Member States and Associated Countries a healthy and affordable diet programme (e.g. guidance, recommendation, etc) for the older population (including those in care homes) affected by malnutrition or at a high risk to develop malnutrition;
- develop and provide to Member States and Associated Countries nutrient and tailored food dietary recommendations to be used in home care and other national, regional and local institutions or infrastructures responsible for the care of older people as well as for older people living alone;
- develop and provide prevention campaigns and post-recovery programmes for the older population affected by any disease due to unhealthy diets;
