Description

Discussions on public health nutrition in recent years have increasingly focused on the relationship between diet and health. A substantial body of observational evidence links poor quality diets with a wide range of adverse health outcomes. While questions remain about the precise mechanisms through which certain dietary patterns contribute to ill health, the overall impact is clear. Action to improve diets should not be delayed pending further research.

The purpose of this event is to move beyond debates about specific categories of food and instead explore practical approaches to driving change within the current food environment, with the aim of improving diet quality for everyone.
