This webinar will explore how scientific evidence informs the development, implementation, evaluation, and evolution of nutrition policies and standards. Speakers will highlight the translation of nutrition science into policy, examine how standards can and should adapt as new evidence emerges, and present practical frameworks for strengthening nutrition policies and programs through evidence-based approaches. 

Featuring perspectives from policy development, implementation, and evaluation, this webinar will provide attendees with insights into building more rigorous, responsive, and effective nutrition standards.
