nnedpro-iane Regional Networks Good nutrition is at the foundation of good health. We see healthcare and public health practitioners as key knowledge brokers that can promote nutrition to achieve better public health. To do this, NNEdPro in collaboration with IANE convenes regional networks across six continents and currently has members in 80 countries. The Regional Networks are overseen by the Virtual Core . Please note: Membership in our Regional Networks is voluntary and based on where members are currently active. Network coverage may vary, and not all areas within a region may be represented. Click on parts of the map to read more about our regional networks. Australia & New Zealand Canada Europe India & South Asia Latin America Middle East & Central Asia Pan-Africa (including Morocco) South East & East Asia United Kingdom & Ireland United States IKANN25 CROSS-CUTTING THEMES / ACTIVITIES In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic over 2020-22, we supported the following survey initiatives across all regional networks: The Language of Communicating Nutrition and Impact (LOCNI) – this will involve the translation of our 10-point guide on nutrition and COVID-19 into multiple languages evaluating the added impact of using linguistically adapted nutrition education resources Global Food and Nutrition Insecurity Survey (GFNIS): To develop a global pandemic impact picture around agri-food and health systems, GFNIS involved a semi-qualitative assessment of acute food and nutrition insecurity due to COVID-19 through a sample survey of regional network members as advocates for nutrition and health. The abstract can be found here . COVID19 Microsite Nutrition & COVID19 Across regional networks, our Education and Training Centre facilitates: the Summer School in Applied Human Nutrition the annual International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health the International Academy of Nutrition Educators (IANE) and E-learning initiatives. Cross-Cutting Network Themes: Nutrition Education for Healthcare Professionals Featured Example : The NEPHELP (Nutrition Education Policy for Health Practice) model seeks to change the default status of nutrition education within health systems by strengthening the nutrition workforce in each region. The original NEPHELP initiative was developed in the UK, while adaptations of NEPHELP are now envisioned across regional networks internationally. From 2025, this has been superseded by the GNOME initiative . Empowering Underserved Communities in Nutrition and Health Featured Example : The Mobile Teaching Kitchen (MTK) model seeks to empower marginalised community members to become culinary health educators by bringing together change drivers, from medical and nutritional personnel to lay volunteers and NGOs, all invested in reducing nutritional inequities for better health. The original MTK initiative was developed in India, with adaptations of the MTK are now planned across regional networks internationally. Responsible Science Communication for Health and Resilience Featured Example : Commencing in 2026, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in London , we are co-creating and organising a series of scientific roundtable meetings to build consensus on the role of a ‘Scientific Forum for Advancement of Mediterranean Diet Knowledge for Human Health ’. This work will enable all partners to showcase their ongoing commitment and existing Mediterranean Diet and Food-related initiatives, highlighting the shared dedication to advancing knowledge in this critical area. Cross-cutting Network Activities: Encouraging interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration Development of research and innovation projects Raising awareness through advocacy campaigns Delivery of scientific webinars and presentations Delivery of education sessions

< 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.
