Description: Sustainable food practices continue to be top-of-mind for healthcare professionals and clients and patients alike. Increasingly, Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are addressing the intersection of sustainability and nutrition with their patients. Still, many are looking to deepen their knowledge of the topic and explore creative and approachable recommendations for everyone.
Join the PepsiCo Health and Nutrition Sciences team and our expert speakers as we share tools to help patients make more sustainable food choices.
This event will aim to:
1. Describe components of a sustainable eating pattern and review the role RDNs play in encouraging sustainable food choices
2. Outline steps that the food industry is taking to address sustainability across the supply chain
3. Address how RDNs can approach this conversation with clients and patients and help everyday consumers make more sustainable food choices
