The Planetary Healthy Diet Application for Nutrition and Dietetic Schools

My NutriWeb

Overview

We have developed specific learning modules for nutrition and dietetic schools in the UK on healthy sustainable diets, using the Planetary Health Diet.
We offer several modules which teach students the science and application to clinical practice and public health. We share knowledge and cases studies required to implement a plant-rich diet for their personal lives, for supporting future patients and communities to embrace a plant-based diet, whilst also applying it to food systems and public health settings.

We provide in person and online lectures and workshops with multiple case studies and interactive sessions and resources to support the learning. The training is led by dietitians whom we have trained in the science and application of the Planetary Health Diet to dietetic and nutrition practice.

We have been teaching this for 2 years. We are now in 5 nutrition and dietetic schools with plans to expand as resource allows.

The planetary health diet forms the basis of the teaching.
