Food & Nutrition Communications

Nutrition communication is the process by which nutritional knowledge is converted to change in diet. Nutrition communication aims to educate and empower people about nutrition. Nutrition information focuses to improve peoples' diets such as restricting misinformation about nutrition or manipulating the composition, availability or price of foods. The role of nutrition and health professionals is to continue to communicate the potential benefits of foods and food components to consumers, especially foods and beverages that relate back to their top health concerns: heart health, weight, and cancer.
