Boosting Healthy Eating: How Science, Tech & Policy Can Transform Our Food Choices
Can science, technology, and smart policies help Canadians make healthier food choices? Join us for a dynamic public workshop exploring innovative solutions to improve the healthfulness of our diets.
The Challenge: Canadians face ongoing challenges related to diet-related health issues. While nutritional information is readily available, making truly healthy choices can be complex. We need to move beyond simply counting calories and consider a broader range of factors influencing food healthfulness.
What We'll Explore: This workshop isn't just about the science of food. We'll dive into how cutting-edge technologies, evolving policy frameworks, and groundbreaking innovations can work together to create a food system that supports healthier eating habits for everyone.
Beyond Nutrients: A New Perspective We'll examine the growing understanding that food healthfulness goes far beyond just nutrients. Factors like the impact of processing methods, the role of the gut microbiome, and even the sensory experience of eating all play a crucial role. We'll discuss:
- Emerging Technologies: How can technologies like precision fermentation, cellular agriculture, and advanced food processing contribute to healthier food options?
- Policy & Regulation: What policy changes are needed to incentivize the production and consumption of healthful foods? How can we ensure transparency and clarity in food labeling?
- The Science of Taste & Texture: How can we make healthy foods more appealing and enjoyable, encouraging wider adoption?
- The Gut-Food Connection: The vital role of the gut microbiome in overall health and how food choices can impact it.
- Sustainable & Ethical Considerations: The intersection of healthy eating, environmental sustainability, and ethical food production.
Who Should Attend: This workshop is ideal for:
- Food scientists and researchers
- Policy makers and government officials
- Food industry professionals
- Nutritionists and dietitians
- Health advocates and educators
- Anyone interested in learning more about how to create a healthier food future for Canada.
Join the Conversation: Be part of a collaborative discussion to shape the future of food and health in Canada. Let’s work together to leverage science, technology, and policy to make healthful foods and diets accessible and appealing to all.
