Abstract

Around the world, the burden of malnutrition remains high despite significant efforts to thwart both undernutrition and overnutrition. The links between food security, dietary choices, and health outcomes pose a dilemma: What can nutrition policymakers and health care professionals do to harness the benefits of nutrition to improve health outcomes for young and old? The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics gathered a group of health care policymakers, physicians, and credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners from around the world for a Policy and Nutrition Forum that took place on August 31, 2019 in Krakow, Poland. Participants from countries in Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America presented on nutrition and policy from their perspective and took part in discussions about the effects of nutrition policies on health and health care. To extend the conversation about food and nutrition and to build a healthier future for people worldwide, this report highlights information from the Forum.
