Linking Science and Policy
2014
Schneeman, Barbara
This article is based on the keynote presentation given at the 2013 Better Foods for Better Health Symposium sponsored by the Fondation Mérieux and highlights lessons learned and pathways forward in using science to develop policy, including regulations. Key lessons include that science is necessary for developing policy but not sufficient, the challenges associated with prevention, the relevance of the food and agriculture sectors to improve nutrition, the need to rethink the role of foods and nutrients in health, and the importance of multidisciplinary approaches to solve nutrition problems. Principles for moving forward are based on the significance of nutrition for public health, the importance of investing in nutrition research that can be used as a basis for development of policy, the need for diagnostic tools that help motivate behavior to maintain health and prevent disease, the use of nutrition knowledge to improve the food supply, and recognition that behavior will determine the success of nutrition strategies.
