In Sweden, 16,000 cancer cases per year could be prevented through healthier lifestyles. Starting with children's environments is one of the most effective approaches. However, one of the biggest challenges is that the focus often ends up on individual responsibility, instead of on the societal structures that influence our habits. The Swedish Cancer Society wants to change that.
