Actioning Sustainable Nutrition: Challenges and Opportunities

In this webinar, our experts dive into the challenges and opportunities for actioning sustainable nutrition by answering questions like:

  1. What falls within the spectrum of sustainable nutrition?
  2. What tools exist to measure how foods fit into a healthy diet?
  3. How can they be used to communicate information to consumers or to guide industry renovation and innovation?
  4. What metrics can we use to track progress toward water use, carbon emissions, land use, etc? Are they accurate and feasible on a large scale?
  5. What might the future bring for actioning sustainable nutrition?

Watch the full recording.

The idea of sustainable nutrition is driving a foundational change in the way food is produced globally.  It is nutrition that is produced and delivered in a way that is mindful for people, the planet, and society.  Sustainable nutrition is becoming embedded into the day-to-day thinking and decision-making of consumers as well as strategies of many companies in the food and beverage industry.

However, measuring and communicating progress against sustainable nutrition strategies and targets in a transparent way is challenging.  Metrics that are supported by science, feasible to use on a large scale, and easily transparent to consumers and regulatory bodies are essential.  How can we make meaningful progress toward an improved food system?
