Food and Ag How are farmers connected to dietitians and where do dietitians go to connect with farmers? This #FoodChat convo brings a panel of registered dietitians together with farmers and consumers to share thoughts on food and health.
- What do dietitians do and why? (this may seem simple, but it’s a mystery to many).
- How can dietitians & farmers/ #agriculture learn more about issues each group faces?
- What online resources do you trust/use to find food facts?
- Do registered dietitians receive any agriculture education as part of their training at university or continuing ed?
- What questions do RDs have of farmers, ranchers and those in agriculture?
- Do RDs work with commodity groups to get in touch w/ farmers or use ed resources that are already made?
- What are RDs thoughts on biotech for improved nutrition, such as high oleic soybeans?
- Food labels takes back seat to front facing food marketing. Should retailers be > proactive food info role?
- How can food growers help improve people’s health through ‘Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ (ref link http://agtoday.us/xrzpmo )
- If nutritional value is equal, what is more important: local, organic, price?
- What is missing in consumer food/nutrition ed? Is it more info, diff delivery or what?
- What’s the one executable idea you’ll be working on as a result of tonight’s #foodchat?
