Now more than ever, sustainable eating and farming practices are on the minds of healthcare professionals as they share nutrition recommendations and patients/clients when pondering everyday food choices. As a healthcare professional engaging in this type of conversation, it's critical to be armed with the latest research to effectively guide patients and clients on how to shop for and consume sustainable foods. Similarly, having a real-world understanding of what farm life looks like and the measures taken by farmers and ranchers to protect the environment is also vital.

In this one-of-a-kind webinar, featuring a live virtual farm tour, registered dietitian nutritionist and Oklahoma beef rancher, Sheri Glazier MS, RD/LD and PA beef producer, Amy Hess, will present a deep dive on sustainable nutrition and sustainability efforts in practice on their family farms. These experts will also share tools and practical messages for healthcare professionals to communicate to patients, clients and the general public.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
  • Explore sustainable eating patterns and examine the role of healthcare providers when educating patients, clients and the general public.
