Global nutrition broadly encompasses community-based, public health nutrition interventions designed to address several forms of malnutrition, including stunting, wasting, overweight/obesity, micronutrient deficiencies, and anemia. Strategies to reduce prevalence of malnutrition may address immediate, underlying, or enabling determinants of nutrition and health, such as increasing dietary diversity; providing nutrition education; modifying the food environment; improving access to financial resources and healthcare; and promoting environmental sustainability, political stability, and social equity. This session is designed for nutrition professionals to learn how to apply knowledge of community or population nutrition to a global context and adapt solutions to common challenges in global nutrition. This session features a panel discussion of core public health nutrition principles among three dietitians with expertise in various practice settings within low- and middle-income countries.
