What do you see as opportunities for the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession?
The future of the food and nutrition profession is strong. Its challenges are also opportunities, for example in preparing students in ever more efficient ways to engage in a fast-diversifying field of careers. We are ideally placed to identify, advocate for, and support healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate, and sustainable diets for all. And food and nutrition professionals can continue to advance as the leaders in providing the public with evidence-based nutrition information to assist in everything from personal decision-making to assessing food and nutrition policy issues.
