The Politics of Food: Understanding the Relationship between Food Policy Issues, Societal Impact Factors and Consumer Food Behaviors
8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. | Constitution Ballroom |
Moderator: Erin DeSimone, MS, RD, LDN, FAND, FoodMinds Speakers: Tracy Fox, MPH, RD, Food, Nutrition & Policy Consultants, LLC; Susan Finn, PhD, RD, FADA, Finn/Parks & Associates
Nutrition education professionals play a critical role in helping consumers make positive behavior changes to build healthy lifestyles. This session will take a historical look at the impact environmental trends and societal factors have had on consumer behavior, while helping nutrition educators look ahead with new survey data that shows what consumers think in terms of where responsibility lies for making food choices - ultimately impacting how they shape their eating habits and behaviors. A group discussion will allow for idea exchange on how to bolster the role of nutrition educators as a leading societal force for imparting behavior change.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will gain knowledge and insights about how to harness trends to carve out a stronger role for nutrition educators in public health.
Participants will be able to articulate leading societal factors that impact consumer purchase decisions.
Participants will gain knowledge about a new Food Temperance survey that depicts consumer sentiment around leading food policy issues.
Session supported by FoodMinds.

Planetary Health and Planetary Boundaries: Rethinking Food Systems that Value and Support Planetary Health for the 21st Century and Beyond
3:45 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. | Independence I |
Moderator: Joanne Burke, PhD, RD, University of New Hampshire, Haas Professor of Sustainable Food Systems
Speakers: Caroline Webber, PhD, RD, Western Michigan University; Joanne Burke, PhD, RD, UNH, Haas Professor of Sustainable Food Systems; Molly D. Anderson, PhD, Middlebury College; Roni Neff, PhD, Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health
The Rockefeller Foundation Lancet Commission on Planetary Health (2015) describes the concept of planetary health as the understanding that human health and human civilization depend on flourishing natural systems and the wise stewardship of those natural systems. This session will review both environmental and social boundaries within which human and natural systems must exist in order that both survive. Using a systems thinking lens, we will explore examples and strategies that food and nutrition educators (and other planetary stewards) can use to design sustainable food systems that promote health, inform policy, and advance social justice for current and future generations.
Learning Objectives:
Explain concepts of planetary health (the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission on Planetary Health), planetary boundaries (Rockstroum, Steffen, et al), and doughnut economics (Raworth)
Describe how systems analysis provides a rich conceptual framework from which to more fully discern food and nutrition challenges and to design more holistic solutions that promote a resilient, sustainable food and water system for current and future generations
Apply a systems approach to a food and nutrition issue, assessing the opportunities and threats to sustainability within ecological, social/ethical, economic, and health parameters.
Session organized by the Sustainable Food Systems Division.

Opening Keynote and George M. Briggs Nutrition Science Symposium - Focus on Vitamin B12: Past, Present and Future
8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. | Constitution Ballroom |
Speakers: Marilyn Briggs, PhD, RD, University of California-Davis; Lindsay H. Allen, PhD, ARS Western Human Nutrition Research Center, UC Davis
In this symposium we will reflect on the historical role and effects of vitamin B12, as identified by a team including Dr. George Briggs himself nearly seventy years ago. Then, current research that helps us better understand the overall metabolic and physiological effects of vitamin B12 interventions will be reviewed. Because of the significant prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiencies globally, across age segments, it is important to understand the adverse consequences manifested with inadequate intakes. Responses to food-based and supplementation interventions, as well as the use of novel methods for measuring absorption, will be explored.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will gain knowledge around the functional consequences of vitamin B12 deficiencies.
Participants will gain knowledge on newer methods for assessing vitamin B12 absorption and B12 status biomarkers.
Participants will gain knowledge on folic acid/vitamin B12 interactions, specifically around the effects of fortification. Impacts on future policy discussions relative to fortification of certain foods will be reviewed.
Session sponsored by the SNEB Foundation.

Food-Based Dietary Guidelines: Best Practices in Global Development and Implementation
9:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. | Constitution Ballroom |
Moderator: Seung-Yeon Lee, PhD, University of Cincinnati
Speakers: Mary Murimi, PhD, Texas Tech University; Serah Theuri, PhD, RD, University of Southern Indiana; Yenory Hernandez-Garbanzo, PhD, Food Agriculture Organization of the United Nation; Luiza Torquato, MS, Federal Council of Nutritionists, Brasília, Brazil
Over 100 countries have developed their own food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) or adopted FBDG from other countries based on eating pattern, food culture, and food availability. Understanding the science behind the processes of development and modification of FBDG and being exposed to diverse FBDG can be beneficial to nutrition educators who work with individuals/groups with diverse cultural backgrounds. This session will present the science behind establishing and modifying FBDG and highlight examples of successful adoption and implementation of FBDG in several countries. Finally, future directions of FBDG reflecting changes in food systems and specific needs of populations will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the scientific approach and process of developing or modifying food-based dietary guidelines.
Discuss successful methods of implementing food-based dietary guidelines in three different countries.
Identify factors to be considered when adopting food-based dietary guidelines for culturally diverse populations.
Session organized by the Division of International Nutrition Education and sponsored by the United Sorghum Checkoff Program.

Nutrition and Healthy Cognitive Aging
12:45 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Constitution Ballroom |
Moderators: Claire Bell, MSPH, RD CSG, Veterans Health Administration; Linda Bobroff PhD, RDN, University of Florida
Speakers: Auriel A. Willette, PhD, MS, Iowa State University and University of Iowa; Ucheoma O. Akobundu, PhD, RD, University of Maryland College Park
Cognitive decline adversely affects health, independence, and quality of life among aging individuals, and contributes to stress and associated health concerns among caregivers, many of whom are family members. Nutrition educators need to have access to the latest research in nutrition and cognition to have the knowledge and skills to provide nutrition interventions to their adult clients for healthy cognitive aging. This session brings together two speakers who offer physiological and nutrition/diet perspectives on healthy cognitive aging and will include an interactive discussion and Q&A.
Learning Objectives:
Workshop participants will increase their understanding of the physiological changes that occur as the brain ages, and how these changes can be mitigated by lifestyle choices.
Workshop participants will increase their knowledge about dietary components, individual foods, and dietary patterns that promote or are associated with healthy cognitive aging.
Workshop participants will incorporate information from this session in their teaching, research, and/or community outreach programs.
Session sponsored by the Health Aging Division.

Moderator: Virginia C. Stage, PhD, RD, LDN, East Carolina University
Speakers: Geoffrey Greene, PhD, RD, LDN, University of Rhode Island; Jade White, MS, University of Rhode Island; Katherine Peterson, PhD, University of Rhode Island
During this scholarship on teaching and learning session, the audience will learn about critical thinking skill development and will participate in an interactive skill development program using organic foods as the target problem. The program is structured as a debate, including brief multimedia presentations, by proponents of organic and conventional agriculture followed by evaluation of key points by the audience. Speakers will respond to this evaluation. The audience will be presented with additional critical thinking questions and the speakers will respond. Results of critical thinking research in college students using these techniques will be presented and compared to audience responses.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to apply critical thinking development strategies in their classrooms.
Participants will practice strategies such as introducing the topic in the form of a problem, providing tools to organize information and assessing barriers to use of critical thinking skills.
Participants will recognize how preexisting biases related to a target problem can interfere with the use of critical thinking skills.
