The competition invited young changemakers from around the world to share original ideas aligned with the Summit theme, Food & Nutrition Policy: From Human to Planetary Health . Hosted at St Leonards School, the inaugural edition showcased the creativity, critical thinking and vision of students engaging with some of the most pressing food and health challenges of our time. This page highlights the winners and shortlisted participants from both age categories in the first Global Youth Essay Competition, marking an important milestone in NNEdPro’s commitment to amplifying youth voices in food, nutrition and planetary health. Finalists of the 2025 Global Youth Essay Competition will be offered the opportunity to become part of the NNEdPro Youth Ambassadors Club , and will assist in organising the next competition, to be held in December 2026. You can read a full overview of the event on the Blog . Below is an excerpt from the speech of Niki Rajput Ray, NNEdPro's Lead Youth Ambassador, who was unable to attend in person and was presented on her behalf by Professor Pauline Douglas. Essay writing is not only a way to collate knowledge, research and opinion, but it also forces the writer to reveal thought processes and ideas that, unprompted, may have never been discovered. The aim of the NNEdPro essay competition this year was to encourage students globally to think about how they play a role in today’s society and how positive impact is something that every student is able to achieve. The method of judging is not only based on essay quality, but also on presentation ability, which comes from the idea that each of your essays should and will make a change, and being able to present ideas allows you to see your own work and thoughts in a tangible light. Additionally, presentations are considered in judging due to differing abilities in styles of work, which should be considered, as change-makers come in many different forms, and we want to ensure that diverse skill sets are considered in our judging of each essay. I hope that through this experience of learning and sharing of knowledge, that every participant not only has learnt something new, but also feels more capable in whatever field they chose to write in, encouraging each participant to make their own change.

< Regional Networks page Nutrition Education Policy in Healthcare Practice (NEPHELP) Summary NEPHELP aimed to develop, test, improve and implement nutrition education resources for doctors in hospitals and community settings. We presented core nutrition materials to doctors and other healthcare professionals, taking on board their feedback and tailoring the material and delivery to best fit their needs. This ultimately allowed us to advocate for greater nutrition training in mandatory curricula and to support education teams in implementing this. aims We aimed to empower doctors with greater nutrition training, enabling them to become champions of nutrition within their local teams. This ultimately improved patient care directly through changes in their practice, a greater focus within the teams they worked in, and a reduction in the pressure of inappropriate or unsupported referrals to dietitians. Alongside this, we continued to use our findings, experience and publications to advocate for change in medical student and doctors’ training, ensuring adequate levels of nutrition education. We anticipated that this would lead to a greater focus on nutrition and lifestyle change to prevent and treat disease, supported by a trained healthcare workforce working seamlessly between hospitals and the community. Timeline 2018 NEPHELP was developed through an MNI-ESPEN-funded grant. 2018-2019 Surveys were collected from junior doctors and medical students on their nutrition training and subsequent confidence. These were analysed and published as a peer-reviewed paper. 2019-2020 Content for a core nutrition workshop for medical professionals was developed and delivered across England, with resources adapted based on feedback. 2020-2023 The materials were adapted into an online virtual learning environment, targeting primary care doctors (GPs). GPs interested in nutrition training and contributing to shaping future resources are invited to register here.

< 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.
