Given the urgency of the climate crisis and widespread food and nutrition insecurity, there is a need to drive adoption of healthy, sustainable diets. While defining these diets has been the focus of much global attention, there have been challenges aligning to a diet that considers affordability and accessibility, and little progress in achieving recommendations at scale. Existing sustainable nutrition guidance focuses almost exclusively on whole foods. If packaged foods are discussed, they are often discouraged as "ultra-processed," putting these diets even farther out of reach.
While the foundation of a healthy, sustainable diet is whole foods, packaged foods can fit. In fact, they can play a critical role in driving adoption of these diets and supporting nutrition security. Join sustainability and nutrition experts Mike Hamm, PhD and Leslie Bonci, MPH, RDN, CSSD, LDN to dive deeper into the state of healthy and sustainable eating, including current dietary guidance, consumption habits, and recommendations for your clients. They will review the existing tools and frameworks for evaluating food choices and explore how potential new definitions and practical solutions can help make healthy, sustainable eating accessible to all.

Communication is such a critical component of the field of nutrition and dietetics. In creating recommendations for patients, are we respectful of cultural background, economic status, food accessibility and affordability when we craft content? In interviews or on social media platforms we should strive to be ethical, fair, far reaching, inclusive, and evidence based. Effectiveness and competence in our communication strategies is key.
