CLINICAL TOOLKIT REFERENCES Background and Context This Clinical Toolkit was developed through a collaboration between the NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health and HEIGHTS, aiming to support and strengthen nutritional practices among healthcare professionals (HCPs). The toolkit highlights key nutrients of concern within the UK context, identified through public health data, including the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), such as iron, vitamin D, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12, and iodine. Additional nutrients, including riboflavin (vitamin B2), magnesium, vitamin A, and probiotics, were included based on findings from NNEdPro’s Nutrition and Supplementation Survey. This survey explored HCPs' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to dietary supplementation. Survey insights directly informed the toolkit’s development, helping ensure it addresses practical needs and supports the evidence-based use of nutrition and supplementation in clinical care.

2nd round Kids Kitchen Club Challenge 2024 Sustainable Nutrition NNEdPro in its mission to bring nutrition to children, is working towards creating awareness among kids aged 4-15 about the food they consume and its importance. NNEdPro has chosen to focus on "Sustainable Nutrition" for this year, building on the success of previous years, and welcomes all 4 to 15-year-olds to take part in this creative art challenge by submitting a piece of work based on the appropriate subtopics for their age group. We encourage all primary and secondary schools to utilise the downloadable interactive worksheet curated by us to conduct the competition in their own institutions. As this year marks the 15th Anniversary of NNEdPro, the participants will be incorporating their ideas into the number 15 template provided as part of the worksheet, which also contains a crossword puzzle in order to familiarise themselves with some of the key sustainable nutrition terms. We hope to see a lot of enthusiastic children taking their first step towards learning about sustainable nutrition.

There is a downloadable worksheet that contains the number 15 template on one side and an interactive crossword puzzle based on some sustainable nutrition terms on the other side. Apart from this, there is an information sheet for the teachers/parents/caregivers in order to better equip them in initiating this particular competition and further facilitate continuous nutritional education for children. 4-6 years Distribute a printed sheet of recycled paper with the number 15 Kids will be asked to draw their favourite and healthy foods inside the number 15 Guiding questions What is your favourite fruit or veggie?

< Regional Networks page TIGR2ESS FP6 Flagship Project 6: Impacting Wellbeing in Rural and Urban Communities Project Overview Key determinants of populations health and resilience include heredity, environment, diet, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. Within this framework, education and, empowerment are important components that can define theories of change to improve lives and livelihoods, leading to better nutrition, health and economic outcomes. Our flagship project explores the relationships between these factors through assessing needs and piloting innovative intervention models. We have brought together a multidisciplinary group of social scientists, land economists, basic scientists and a nutrition think tank to work on several interlinking sub-projects. Our work centres around two key research themes, the first on nutrition-specific Education, Food, Nutrition and Empowerment (EFNE) and the second on more general Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Empowerment (4E). These two themes are linked by two different, innovative intervention methods: Mobile Teaching Kitchens (MTKs), a teaching method pioneered by our partner NNEdPro, and food education-focused Innovation Farms, spearheaded by a team at NIAB. Central to our flagship project is capacity building. Our research will provide an evidence base from which Indian partners and stakeholders can extend, strengthen or create their own innovative initiatives which work in the settings in which they are applied. Through bringing different research disciplines and partners together to devise and test new interventions in the field, our flagship project will enhance youth skills, women’s entrepreneurship and improve nutritional literacy. How are we putting our research into practice? 6a: Education, Food, Nutrition and Empowerment (EFNE) We are working in rural communities in several locations across India. The EFNE theme, led by Professor Nitya Rao from UEA, is using participatory research methods in Maharashtra, Punjab, Orissa and Telangana to understand past and current nutrition and dietary practices in rural communities, across genders and generations. This work will inform community-led education programmes that re-introduce traditional dietary practices, backed up by modern nutrition science, to improve health and nutrition, particularly in women. 6b: Education, Employment, Empowerment and Entrepreneurship (4E) Our 4E theme, led by Dr Shailaja Fennell from the University of Cambridge, uses a variety of techniques including use of normative data, baseline household surveys and looking at the key links between education to empower communities towards developing skills and livelihoods for employment as well as entrepreneurship. In the context of agriculture and female smallholders this includes decisions on land use, impacting productivity and household income. 6a & 6b: Mobile Teaching Kitchens (MTK) and Innovation Farms Together with NNEdPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health, led by Professor Sumantra Ray, we have adapted their MTK intervention for use in a rural setting. We are testing this adapted version at sites including Punjab and Orissa. As we refine this intervention we will roll it out to other locations, using workshops to train Indian stakeholders so that MTKs can become a self-sustaining community-led cornerstone for nutrition education in rural settings. Innovation Farms, Dr Lydia Smith from NIAB will provide an important platform for uptake of new technologies and educational materials that stem from our research. Response to COVID-19 Unhealthy diets are the leading cause of ill-health. Without dedicated action on nutrition, all forms of malnutrition are likely to increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on food environments. Financial hardships, reduced physical activity, and altered purchasing patterns favouring products with longer shelf-life and often poorer nutrition profiles can lead to higher levels of food insecurity, undernutrition, and overweight/obesity. We are actively responding to the pandemic. We are assessing the response of the local, state and central government and even civil society to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food essentials. It is on record that the COVID-19 pandemic response plan was not the same for all states and districts across India. States may have various responses to ensuring food availability, depending on urban, rural and tribal contexts. Example areas of investigation include: The disruption of value chains due to staff shortages; especially fairly junior low-paid packing and sorting jobs. Such disruptions may have resulted in waste where produce could not be either picked or packed. In some cases, produce has been landfilled or suffered a much decreased value or shelf-life. An absence of traders who collect agricultural produce from the farm gate has led to dumping of fruits and vegetables in India. Reduced operational hours of markets has also caused food waste. Assessing the effects of large numbers of agricultural workers returning home to their villages after the current lockdown ends.
