Consumption of organic food by children in Germany – Results of EsKiMo II
Data from the second Eating study as a KiGGS module (EsKiMo II, 2015–2017), are used to determine the contribution of food produced by organic farming (organic food) to the diet of children aged between six and eleven years (n=1,190) in Germany. Dietary intake was assessed by food records during a t...
