2010 NEL Review
2010 DGAC Question: What are the effects of combining changes to the food environment and nutrition education compared to either of these strategies alone on children’s and adolescent’s dietary intake-related behaviors?
Consistent evidence suggests that combining nutrition education with changes to the school food environment is more effective for improving children’s and adolescents’ dietary intake than making changes to the food environment alone. (GRADE: Strong)
Science
2010 Call to Action
Ensure that all Americans have access to nutritious foods and opportunities for physical activity
Facilitate individual behavior change through environmental strategies
Set the stage for lifelong healthy eating, physical activity, and weight management behaviors
Action

Emerging Issues
Population not eating near DG recommendations Expansion of the Dietary Guidelines to include the
birth-24 months Defining the “healthy, general population” Rapidly changing food system – production, processing,
retail Connecting DG to food and nutrition security via
capacity of natural resources in sustaining healthy diets New communication needs of a changing and diverse
audience - how to reach people where they are Enhanced attention by the media, public, industry,
Congress
Evolution of Dietary Guidelines Emerging research on behavioral economics
and influences on individual dietary behaviors RCTs, lifespan, updated data
Broader application of DG to policy, system and environment (PSE) initiatives and document impact
Innovative communication strategies to inform dietary behavior change
Exploration of DG impact on food system sectors and social, environmental and economic domains
