CPD on-demand | Sustainable food choices: Nurturing human health and the planet Sustainable food choices: Nurturing human health and the planet Watch the trailer Overview Are you beginning to question the environmental implications of some of your personal food choices or recommendations to clients? Would you like to understand and discuss the key issues in more detail? Would you like to be able to develop sustainability ‘packages’ for clients? New course with Christine Bailey This CPD course... is delivered: As an online on-demand-video from a live course nutritional therapists, nutritionists, dieticians, naturopaths, other health care providers and final year nutrition students interested in applying functional medicine approaches to health and well-being (i.e. exploring how nutrients, other foods and lifestyle factors influence the function of the body and how to apply findings in a person–centred manner that recognises individuals’ unique differences) is with: Christine Bailey spans: 5 hours recording time provides: BANT CPD 5 hours, NNA 5 hours The problem with today’s farming practices Current intensive agricultural and aquaculture systems have implications for our health, for animal welfare, species protection and the environment. They can deplete our soils and waters causing food to lack nutrients and they do not prioritise animal welfare nor food quality. Agricultural practices alone contribute to 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. The rise of ultra processed foods and the decline in nutritional status 65% of all calories consumed per day by UK adults are from ultra-processed or processed foods. Pricing, taste, convenience and a lack of understanding regarding how to use ingredients have all influenced this pattern, leaving consumers eating foods that have low nutrient density and further affect the environment given intensive manufacturing and packaging requirements. Likely in part as a consequence of the rise in processed foods and the demise of our soils and seas, UK National Dietary Surveys show that many people are failing to meet recommended daily intakes for key nutrients, vitamins and minerals. 63% of adults in the UK are either obese or overweight and 28% of children; 4.8m in the UK have diabetes and 7m cardiovascular disease. Exploring sustainable food choices and diets and incorporating these approaches into your work Sustainable eating and dietary choices has been little explored to date by many who work in nutrition and lifestyle medicine and there are a whole host of issues that need to be explored and understood in terms of how food quality, farming, welfare and environmental issues relate and impact on each other. Whilst most guidance suggests that increasing the intake of plants in the diet is better for individual health and the environment, clear guidelines are lacking and personal preferences also need to be considered. Animal products will continue to play an important role to differing extents in many people’s diets, yet what do more sustainable animal based food choices really look like? This course aims to look at what sustainable eating and purchasing decisions might look like in balancing the health of individuals with the health of the planet. It will equip practitioners with a more thorough understanding of the issues and be able to develop bespoke ‘sustainability packages’ to new or current clients. It will look at sustainable diets based on national and international reports, recommendations and research and will discuss the spectrum of plant based eating and practical tips to help making eating more plant based meals appealing and simple whilst still ensuring nutrition needs are met. It will also consider how to make more sustainable food choices for those who eat meat, fish or dairy and how best to support those who wish to follow vegan diets to ensure nutritional sufficiency, particularly in the important years of childhood and adolescence. ION's courses have a strong reputation for providing evidence- informed education. This course has been structured and designed based on best practice in delivering an effective and interactive online learning experience. Book What will I learn?
