Description:
Nutrition is central to the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) and 2023 Farm Bill discussions. This session will focus on highlighting foundational nutrition science that informs nutrition policies and farm bill investments.
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) form the foundation of nutrition policy, including the Dietary Guidelines, which inform federal policy through dietary recommendations. Up to date DRIs are needed to ensure the Dietary Guidelines and other nutrition policy is based on the latest science.
Meal patterns are an essential tool to building healthy dietary patterns and dietary guidelines. The 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is currently evaluating evidence on the health impacts of dietary patterns and ultra-processed foods to inform their recommendations.
