Practical Public Health Nutrition

Public health nutrition as a discipline and as a fi eld of practice is of immense importance
to human health and the societies in which we live. It is an area of work that is gathering
momentum worldwide. The next few decades will be as challenging, if not more so, than
those of the past. This book is a small but practical attempt to support the development
of the public health nutrition workforce so that it has the capacity to address these challenges now and into the future. As an aspiring or current practitioner, we hope this book
will confi rm your current good practice or inform the process of practice improvement
we consider so important if we are to have a genuine impact on public health.
