Schedule Announced for Nutrition 2020

Is there science behind popular diets? How do our food choices affect the planet? How can we ensure children get the nutrition they need to thrive, from the womb through adolescence?  How should society address ethical aspects of food production, food waste, food taxes and end-of-life feeding?
