Sustainability in Nutrition & Dietetics: Where are we now?

Abstract

With the topic of sustainability becoming a regular feature in all aspects of our lives, this year, the CN Team launched a new CN Award category focusing on sustainability initiatives. In turn, this got us thinking further about the nutrition and dietetic arena as a whole – not just about those of you on the frontline, but also organisations, groups, associations and industry – what action is taking place, and what roles are being developed to actively make nutrition and dietetics more sustainable? So, with this in mind, CN Team members Faye and Jodie sought to do a bit of investigating, in order to discover how the world of nutrition and dietetics is becoming more sustainable! As a result, within this article, we provide a snapshot of initiatives and developments that have, or are, taking place (this is by no means exhaustive), which we hope will further encourage and inspire us all to think more sustainably, and positively acknowledge and recognise what is being done to make an all important difference to the world we live in.
