The Foundation Nutrition in Transition unites nutrition scientists, medical doctors, ethicists, philosophers and sociologists of science.

We facilitate the discussion of the future of nutrition science: how to improve its capability and credibility.

Inspired by Science in Transition (“Science is in need of fundamental reform.”)

 

Starting point

What is relevant nutrition science? Consumers experience confusion about what healthy nutrition is. Researchers do not always agree.

Goal

To update topics and methods of nutrition science by means of debate.
What is health? What is nutrition? What is evidence?

Approach

Publishing editorials, organising invitational workshops (2016), contributing to national and international conferences (2017).

How can nutrition science respond to the increasing importance of health and well-being?

How can she continue to contribute to societal questions?

Which new concepts, evidence and partnerships are needed?
