Agriculture and Diet Workshop Series

Agriculture and Diet Workshop Series Beginning April 14

ADVANTAGE will employ a multi-disciplinary approach that accounts for all the elements of the nutrition ecology to better position nutrition and dietetics professionals to achieve public health goals through the development of context-specific, equitable, safe and efficacious interventions and guidance.

The ADVANTAGE Project is an effort to better understand the intersection of food systems, diet, nutrition and health in a changing environment by addressing how the current realities of climate/environmental change (CEC) are affecting dietary choices, patterns and relevant aspects of the food system, as well as implications for specific public health outcomes of interest. This effort seeks to determine how an ecological approach can be applied to assess the nature and impact of these relationships and how to best translate the evidence generated to support dietary guidance to promote health and prevent disease.

ADVANTAGE is intended to aid the global community in addressing the potential impacts of the intersection of CEC, food systems, nutrition and health by focusing on the evidence — what is known or unknown, how gaps in that evidence might be addressed and how to apply that evidence most effectively in support of sustainable and resilient programs and policies.

ADVANTAGE will employ a multi-disciplinary approach that accounts for all the elements of the nutrition ecology to better position nutrition and dietetics professionals to achieve public health goals through the development of context-specific, equitable, safe and efficacious interventions and guidance. ADVANTAGE will also provide value-added support to agencies and organizations that develop dietary guidelines, recommendations, policy and programs. This project is funded by the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and is facilitated by NICHD and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
