About

On August 10-12 from 10 am to 1 pm ET each day, the Food Forum hosted a series of three virtual workshops that explored potential challenges and opportunities in the application of precision and personalized nutrition approaches to optimize dietary guidance and improve nutritional status. Workshop presenters discussed ways to define precision and personalized nutrition, described current research design and methodologies, and limitations in design and data. Invited speakers also delved into innovative methodologies and technologies at the various scales of precision nutrition (including genetic, physiological, individual, and social-ecological) and examined the challenges of adapting technologies for utilization. Finally, speakers looked at policy and regulatory challenges, providing their perspectives from academia, federal government, and industry.

This workshop was organized by the following planning committee:

Eric A. Decker, University of Massachusetts, Amherst (chair)
Cindy Davis, U.S. Department of Agriculture
Katie Koecher, General Mills
Bruce Y. Lee, City University of New York School of Public Health & Health Policy
