This session builds upon the Council of Future Practice Change Driver-Population Health, highlighting upstream approaches across the nation that aim to address persistent nutrition challenges. Particularly, these interventions promote health by tackling the root, upstream causes of health determinants.
Academic, government and industry leaders will share their insights on navigating future health and nutrition challenges by employing an upstream, multi-sectoral approach—integrating and examining the health impacts of policies, systems, and environments through innovative collaboration and shared resources. This session will encourage the future dietetic workforce to advocate and promote population health, recognizing the vital link between social and structural determinants and diet-related health outcomes.
