#GROW, The ICDA - International Confederation of Dietetic Associations' monthly #SustainableFoodSystems (SFS)Toolkit update is themed - Waste not Want not ♻️ 
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6984094450570416128/ 

A few topics include:

💻 We know you are busy, so we create 1-page Hot Topic Research Clusters. This month is on Dietitians-Nutritionists' (D-Ns) role in Food Waste. It includes a summary of key points 🔑 along with case studies, research, tools, webinars, and websites - specifically for D-Ns. 

🌍 Our 46 #ICDA member dietetic and nutrition associations are our key to success. 🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Roshan Dela Bandara shares Sri Lanka’s food-based dietary guidelines that integrate SFS; Christine McCullum-Gomez, PhD, RDN shares a free self-study course on Healthy People & Planet along with slides for you to use; and @ Kathy Faulkner shares about her work in institutional food waste prevention in our Sustainability Spotlight.

📣 Don’t miss the call for abstracts due on October 15 for a Special issue on "SFS and Dietary Patterns in Nutrition and Dietetic Practice" in The British Dietetic Association (BDA) Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics with guest editors @Liesel Carlsson, Liana Poulia, and @Angela Madden.

👉🏽 The SFS Toolkit team continually searches 👀 for resources to assist D-Ns in integrating SFS into their roles. Share with us by joining our #ICDAsfsToolkit Community of Practice at https://www.ICDAsustainability.org

Have you turned your abstract in?  Reminder to do so!  Call for abstracts for the Special issue on Sustainable Food Systems and Dietary Patterns in Nutrition and Dietetic Practice in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics

due 2022 NOVEMBER 15

1. About the special issue

As global health discourse around Planetary and Eco Health remind us of the inseparable relationship between individual human, social, and ecological health, scholars and practitioners in the field of human nutrition and dietetics are working to better understand, adapt and advance practice so that it remains evidence-based and relevant. Dietary patterns, and the food systems on which they depend, are key areas relevant to nutrition and dietetic professionals in this space. 

A group of dietitians and nutritionists from over 30 nations codeveloped a professional vision for sustainable food systems, in 2017. It described sustainable food systems as as those which nourish all people, now and into the future, with sufficient, nutritious, affordable, tasty, diverse, culturally appropriate food, and that such food systems support physical and mental health while preserving, promoting, and respecting the integrity of ecological and social systems. This vision is necessarily multidimensional, addressing many interrelated elements of socioecological systems. However, one of the barriers nutrition and dietetics practitioners face in contributing to this vision is the complexity of the issues, which elude deductive epistemologies, and the challenge of translating rapidly emerging, interdisciplinary research. 

The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics is calling for submissions of original research, reviews, and commentaries that help scholars and professionals in the field to contribute toward sustainable food systems and dietary patterns in a way that is evidence-based. All submissions should focus on sustainability, clearly defined, sustainable food systems and/or dietary patterns in the context of nutrition and dietetic practice.

We welcome submissions on topics such as:
* Sustainable and healthy dietary guidelines, including perceived trade-offs or contradictions
* Diverse concepts of sustainable food systems and diets across cultures and geographies, and how these relate to nutrition and dietetic practice
* Clinical implications of sustainable dietary guidelines in assessment and management of malnutrition
* The relationship between sustainable food systems and diets, and the multiple burdens of malnutrition, globally.
* Nutrition and dietetic education and training in the context of sustainable food systems and dietary patterns
* Setting-specific implementation of sustainable initiatives such as in hospitals and/or institutional food services (e.g., food waste mitigation and management approaches, Indigenous foods in menus)
* Nutrition and food technology, reformulation and other food system adaptations to address sustainability in the context of nutrition and dietetic practice.
* Evidence for societal uptake of sustainable food systems and dietary patterns

2. Guest editors
* Dr. Liesel Carlsson, School of Nutrition and Dietetics, Acadia University, Wolfville, Canada
* Dr. Kalliopi Anna Poulia, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Agricultural University of Athens, Athens, Greece
