Food + Planet, in collaboration with Today’s Dietitian, released its first annual 2023 Sustainability and Food Insights Survey, revealing first-of-its-kind findings regarding dietitians beliefs, practices, and barriers around incorporating sustainability into their practice.
The landmark survey, which included 1,161 registered dietitians (RDs) across the US, found that the vast majority of RDs believe their profession should be involved in advocating for sustainable food systems, yet most do not feel confident in providing guidance on sustainable food choices, primarily due to lack of education and resources. It also uncovered that when it comes to the multi-dimensional nature of sustainable diets, sociocultural and planetary health aspects ranked as top areas of opportunity for dietitians to deepen their knowledge. Learn more about the key findings of the Sustainability and Food Insights Survey by downloading the full survey and the press release below.
This essential book on blue foods provides the basics on the nutrition and sustainability benefits of aquatic foods, as well as how you can find them in your supermarket and prepare sea vegetables and bivalves at home with quick, easy tips. While the cookbook is designed to be used by food, health, and nutrition professionals to educate consumers, it can be enjoyed equally by home cooks. In addition, quick cooking videos are available for the recipes to highlight their ease and convenience in the kitchen.
