The Tomato Foundation

The Tomato Foundation funds research to prevent and reverse diet-related diseases. Improving and maintaining good public health is a high priority for territorial administrations. The recent pandemic has shown the importance of strong public health systems, which have stabilised societies and economies globally. Disease prevention and reversal can reduce the physical and economic strain on public health systems. The Tomato Foundation’s mission supports this strategy. The Tomato Foundation funds research that furthers our collective knowledge. We believe only sound, evidence-based, peer-reviewed research and qualified health claims can add to consumer knowledge to improve health choices in an authentic way. The Tomato Foundation’s pledge is to only communicate scientifically truthful information supported by cross-corroborated research from multiple peer-reviewed sources. The Tomato Foundation acknowledges personal and environmental health are linked. All the foods we consume have a carbon footprint. It is now well known that animal based products, meat, fish, dairy, have a larger impact on ecosystems than plant-based foods. What we eat is a personal choice. However, the consumption of unhealthy foods, heavily processed with high levels of fats and sugar and salt and other chemicals is detrimental to our own health in the same way that high consumption of meat, fish and dairy has a negative effect on our environment. The results of our investigations are designed specifically to improve consumer knowledge so we can all make better informed choices to protect our personal health and the health of the planet we all call home.
