NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an award-winning interdisciplinary think-tank, building upon over a decade of nutrition education, research and innovation. NNEdPro & Jampolis Family Nutrition and Education Research Fund The NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an independent and international think tank that believes everyone has the right to good nutrition. We develop adaptable and scalable educational models for strengthening nutrition capacity in food and health systems. Our education programme trains frontline healthcare professionals around the globe. We also provide direct support to vulnerable families and communities on the ground. We convene regional networks across six continents and collaborate with partners such as the World Health Organization and the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization. As a collective, we influence whole food and health systems across the globe: from production to consumption and beyond into healthcare. We deliver training to food and health systems actors, including healthcare professionals worldwide, and all of our work is underpinned by ground-breaking academic and action research. One of our key Initiatives, the Mobile Teaching Kitchen, empowers communities by sharing knowledge and skills through the medium of nutrition education. It aims to enhance health and wellbeing for women, children and families across communities, especially working within marginalised communities. After the success of the initiative in India and Mexico, NNEdPro and the MTK initiative received the 2022 Program Impact Award from the Society of Nutrition Education and Behavior in the USA and with generous support from the Jampolis Family we will be extending our work to address food and nutrition insecurity in the United States, in line with the 2022 White House initiative. We hope to build on the NNEdPro and Jampolis Family Nutrition Education and Research Fund by raising further and essential donor support to address malnutrition in all of its forms worldwide via our 10 regional networks and in line with the findings of multilateral organisations on the global needs assessment map on food and nutrition security.

Our aim is to improve nutrition-related health outcomes. our work how we work Our work comprises four overlapping verticals in nutrition and several cross-cutting horizontals. Projects Organogram Learn more about us We are an Independent Global Institute anchored in Cambridge (UK) and working across 10 regional networks involving members from over 80 countries. From 2008-2018, we were hosted by the Cambridge Institute of Public Health (supported by the NIHR School of Public Health 2008-10) and the Medical Research Council Elsie Widdowson Laboratory (supported by MRC Human Nutrition Research 2010-18) in partnership with the British Dietetic Association . With support from Innovate UK, we were incorporated as a Cambridge-based, research-intensive, independent non-profit ahead of our 10th Anniversary. We aim to improve food, nutrition, health, and sustainability outcomes by: promoting nutrition-sensitive microenterprises aimed at social equity; strengthening nutrition research at multiple levels; training professionals in clinical and public health nutrition, and influencing policymakers; providing nutrition and health-related advisory services to high-impact organisations. Our strategic plans have been aligned with the United Nations Decade of Action 2016-2025, following which we have successfully registered our strategic commitments for 2026-2030 with the Global Nutrition Report, in line with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. As of 2026, we deliver our work through the following interrelated sections, as outlined below: SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, Global operations & impact Since 2017, we have supported the development of innovative social enterprise ventures intended to contribute to nutritional equity, population health, and community resilience, such as the multi-award-winning Mobile Teaching Kitchen International Initiative (MTKi) , which operates across multiple jurisdictions. Our work in this area has been supported extensively by UKRI Global and Grand Challenges awards operated through consortia led by the University of Cambridge. Since 2019, our Institute has operated as a non-profit social enterprise hosted at St John’s Innovation Centre , Cambridge, supported by Innovate UK, and our global operations bring together a vast array of professionals from across the six continents into a single delivery framework. Our pathways to impact include international policy dialogue, the development of global youth leaders and the recognition of excellence in communities of practice through annual awards. Learn More Research & innovation Since 2018, our research and innovation have supported the strategic development of our official journal, BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health (BMJ NPH) , which we co-founded and co-own with the BMJ Publishing Group, as well as supporting the development of other journals with which we have project partnerships, such as CABI Food and Nutrition Science Cases . Whilst a proportion of our research is published in journals we co-curate, our research has generated several hundred peer-reviewed papers/outputs over the years, published in a variety of journals and all indexed online. We also published quarterly in the Complete Nutrition (CN) Magazine, where research-led evidence can be communicated to over 20K nutrition practitioners who subscribe to CN. Since 2019, our Chief Scientist has been cross-appointed as a Full Research Professor in Global Nutrition, Health, and Disease (GNHD) within the framework of Ulster University , which is consistently ranked ‘Top in the UK for Food and Nutrition Science’. Our primary research and publications are fully aligned with the GNHD programme, and we regularly contribute outputs to the UK Research Excellence Framework. We run several hubs linked with GNHD: Data Science and Evidence Synthesis (including Dietary Assessment ); Human Interventions (including Nutrition and Vascular Function ); Educational and Development Studies ; and Doctoral Research Projects . Each hub has several interrelated active projects across themes, including cardiometabolic, cognitive, malnutrition risk, nutrition, and non-communicable disease prevention. In 2025, in the margins of COP30, the CREATE Centre for Population Health, Resilience and Sustainability was established within our research and innovation framework to tackle global challenges, with research looking at whole-systems approaches beyond food, nutrition and health. Learn More Since 2018, we have spearheaded the International Academy of Nutrition Educators (IANE) as a professional membership platform for the global community of interdisciplinary professionals involved in nutrition education and innovation. IANE provides high-quality, evidence-based resources, including accredited CPD/CME courses and webinars, as well as a career development framework linked with different levels of membership and associated postnominals. IANE also hosts a series of Special Interest Groups for members, and each is linked to a Special Collection. A flagship resource of IANE is the iKANN Nutrition Research Registry , which enables knowledge exchange on upcoming studies that inform the evidence base across food, nutrition, and health. IANE is complemented by a Virtual Learning Environment where we develop and host bespoke courses targeting different groups of professional learners. Additionally, we draw on educational content from a series of textbooks in the field, which we have edited/authored/co-authored, including Essentials of Nutrition in Medicine and Healthcare , as well as the nutrition content in Essential Lifestyle Medicine. For a decade, we have been running flagship educational offerings such as our internationally renowned Cambridge Summer School and Foundation Certificate in Applied Human Nutrition , accredited by professional bodies such as the Royal Society of Biology and the Royal College of Physicians , and endorsed by the University of Parma . We are also in year 12 of our annual International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health , bringing together key opinion leaders from across six continents each year and determining next steps in applying scientific knowledge to society through education and training, as well as advocacy and policy. Each year, the Summit Poster Competition receives scientific abstracts, which are subsequently published along with the Summit Proceedings in our flagship journal, BMJ NPH. Both our Summer School and Summit are fully hybrid, enabling in-person or online participation from anywhere in the world. We advise and supervise several Doctoral Researchers and PhD candidates registered with academic partner institutions, including Ulster University and King's College London in the UK, as well as several universities internationally. To enable collective peer review and knowledge exchange, we regularly convene an active Graduate Studies Forum attended by members of our Virtual Core, including senior academic colleagues and early- to mid-career researchers from a variety of institutions worldwide. The Forum serves as a focal point for our global research capacity-building efforts in Food, Nutrition, and Health.
