September 7-10, 2016 17th International Congress of Dietetics
Sabri Ülker Food Research Foundation Participated in the 17th International Congress of Dietetics
At the 17th International Congress of Dietetics, held this year in Spain, Granada on September 7-10, internationally renowned scientists addressed the nutrition world's most important topics. The Congress focused on sustainable nutrition challenges, with participants sharing examples of sustainable food production being carried out in different countries.
Food scientists have always promoted healthy nutrition through research, teaching, application, and seamless maintenance. The Sabri Ülker Foundation, keenly aware of the importance of healthy eating, played a key role at this year's Congress.
In line with the conference theme of best practices in sustainable nutrition, the Foundation unveiled the results of its Nutrition Consumption Frequency and Amount Study implemented under the Balanced Nutrition Education Project to the academic world for the first time.
Balanced Nutrition with Balance in Food
The study and its outcomes were presented by Prof. Julian Stowell, Sabri Ülker Foundation Science Committee Member and Oxford Brookes University Functional Food Centre Research Professor. It was conducted under the Balanced Nutrition Education Project, an initiative developed by the Sabri Ülker Foundation to encourage children to learn healthy eating habits at an early age.
Aiming at introducing people to the science behind the food they eat, the Balanced Nutrition Education Project has reached 1 million teachers, students, and parents since 2011. The Nutrition Consumption Frequency and Amount Study surveyed 618 students: 33 percent from Izmir, 32 percent from Istanbul, and 35 percent from Kayseri. Researchers were assisted by 140 student volunteers from the Nutrition and Dietetics programs at Marmara, Ege, and Erciyes Universities.
