2014 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Summit
On November 20, 2014 the Food Innovation Center hosted "The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans: Preparing for the 2015 Release." This timely conference brought together key nutrition influencers including current and former DGAC members, USDA CNPP and USDA ERS representatives, leading nutritional and behavioral science academics, WIC and extension professionals, as well as industry innovators to consider multi-disciplinary and public/private approaches as we prepare for the upcoming 2015 Dietary Guidelines. Over 200 people attended in person with an additional nationwide audience online to hear key presentations and lively panel discussions and participate in audience Q&A.
This event was made possible with the generous support of The Dannon Company and their One Yogurt Every Day campaign, Abbott Nutrition and the Abbott Nutrition Health Institute, the National Dairy Council, and the Institute of Food Technologists.
