Food and beverage companies are increasingly aware of the impact of their product portfolios on public health.

In this session, two cross-disciplinary experts will explore examples of how RDNs are influencing these efforts, and outline the skills and competencies required for RDNs to support this work in collaboration with companies and nonprofits, whether on a local, regional or national scale.
