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. Co mpetition time line Submission Deadline – 15th March 2024 Judging Panel – 22nd March 2024 Winners Announcement – 30th March 2024 INSTRUCTIONS For this year we have divided the children into 3 age groups for participation. Each age group has a separate topic and some guiding questions to get them thinking about the various subtopics that they could potentially explore in their artwork. 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?

History of nnedpro In 2003, the Council of Europe published over 100 recommendations to improve nutritional care across European countries and the UK formed an Alliance led by the BDA over 2005-2007 to examine this issue. During this time the BMA passed a priority motion to strengthen nutrition related healthcare. Over two years, representatives from several professional organisations worked through the Alliance resulting in three outputs: a BBC documentary entitled ‘Hungry in Hospital’ around the patient journey, a consensus statement ‘The 10 Key Characteristics of Good Nutritional Care ’, principles of which were subsequently enshrined in regulatory standards, and the ‘Department of Health 2007 Nutrition Action Plan ’ containing a mandate for the ‘Need for Nutrition Education Project’. NNEdPro was formed in 2008 with fellowship funding awarded by the National Institute of Health Research to two founding members in Cambridge, and an educational award from Abbott Nutrition to the BDA. Since then, NNEdPro has evolved from a project, through a multifaceted programme to a Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health.

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. Food Security and Sustainable Food Systems: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from Law, Economics and Nutrition 22nd April 2026 l 10am to 4pm l Johnson Room, St John's Innovation Centre l Invitation only Photos Programme NNEdPro and the University of Parma will jointly host this workshop to discuss food security and sustainable food systems from an interdisciplinary perspective. The workshop will explore how legal frameworks, public policies, economic approaches and nutritional research interact in shaping food systems, with particular attention to sustainability, equity and human rights. The event aims to present ongoing research projects, foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and identify common analytical and policy challenges across different geographical and institutional contexts. FOSTER is a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence coordinated by the University of Parma, focused on food security and food safety within the European Union and from a global perspective. The project brings together early-career researchers from diverse disciplines to develop research, teaching, and outreach activities that address the legal, economic, policy, and nutritional dimensions of food systems. FOSTER LAB – PLANNED PRESENTATIONS ECONOMICS Michele Maccari and Angelo Buttignol Developing Sustainable Food Value Chains projects: the work of the Department of Agricultural Economics of the University of Parma The presentation will provide a panoramic overview of the work carried out within the Department of Agricultural Economics, focusing on sustainable food value chains. It will refer to different themes, countries and supply chains, with examples drawn from ongoing projects in Rwanda, Brazil, Ivory Coast and Cabo Verde, as well as research on Geographical Indications (GIs). PUBLIC, EU AND INTERNATIONAL LAW Chiara Cerbone Evolution and Establishment of Urban Policies Against Food Waste in Europe European cities are increasingly emerging as key actors in the fight against food waste through integrated policies that combine public education, collective catering planning, and infrastructure for the collection and redistribution of surplus food. Local interventions — from awareness campaigns to support for urban redistribution networks — are essential to achieve the 2030 Agenda’s targets on the sustainability of production and consumption systems. This proposed presentation aims to analyse some of the urban policies established in Europe to demonstrate how urban governance and multi‑stakeholder cooperation can transform waste into solidarity and social value. Nicola Bergamaschi The Nexus between Food Security and Trade Liberalisation in EU Trade Agreements This presentation provides a legal analysis of the clauses on food security contained in EU trade agreements, with a particular focus on two major recent developments: the inclusion of Sustainable Food Systems chapters in newly concluded or negotiated agreements (such as the EU–New Zealand and EU–Chile agreements), and the incorporation of food security clauses in the Samoa Agreement and in the Economic Partnership Agreement with Kenya. Ludovica di Lullo Securing Food, Securing Peace? An International Law Perspective on Food Security Threats While economic factors have long been recognised as primary drivers of food insecurity, the nexus between food insecurity and armed conflict has only recently gained prominence in international discourse. The UN Security Council has acknowledged that armed conflicts contribute to food crises, which in turn threaten the maintenance of international peace and security. Nevertheless, the existing legal framework adopts a narrow approach to food security, overlooking the broader implications of this phenomenon and its interconnected causes and consequences. In this context, the research examines relevant instruments of international security law, with particular focus on UN Security Council practice in sanctions regimes and peacekeeping operations. The analysis reveals emerging attention to guaranteeing access to food not only during armed conflict, but also in pre-conflict and post-conflict phases. By mapping these developments, the study aims to identify gaps in the current framework and assess the potential for more comprehensive legal approaches to conflict-related food insecurity. Luca Romano The International Protection of the Human Right to Food and Food Sustainability This presentation analyses the evolution of the international protection of the human right to food, with a particular focus on the emergence of its sustainability dimension. It examines how environmental and sustainable development considerations are progressively integrated into human rights interpretation and practice, especially through the work of international treaty bodies. The intervention reflects on the implications of this evolution for States’ obligations and food systems governance. NUTRITION Cinzia Franchini and Perla Degli Innocenti An Integrated Assessment of Food Security and Food Safety Awareness among Young Adults in a Developing Country Food security and food safety represent inextricably linked dimensions of sustainable food systems. In developing countries, the absence of an integrated framework for these dimensions often jeopardises the efficacy of public health policies. In this context, this presentation outlines a cross-sectional study that utilises validated food security indices coupled with a structured assessment of food safety literacy within a cohort of university students in Rwanda. As future leaders and decision-makers, university students constitute a pivotal demographic for shaping the resilience of food systems. By synthesising food security status with safety awareness, the study seeks to elucidate the individual-level interactions between these two pillars, providing evidence-based insights to inform integrated policy frameworks. Furthermore, this research aligns with international strategic priorities, including the European Union’s mandate to foster sustainable, safe, and resilient global food systems through collaborative research and international cooperation.
