Purdue Global will be celebrating National Nutrition Month® in March 2024. This is an event that is endorsed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics which is a trade organization for food and nutrition professionals. This event is celebrated each year to increase consumer awareness of the importance of food and nutrition in health and wellness.

The theme established by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for 2024 is Beyond the Table. Per the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: 

Thinking beyond the table takes into account the farm-to-fork aspect of nutrition, from food production and distribution to grocery store and farmers market navigation to food storage and home food safety practices. It also describes the various ways we eat not only around a dinner table but also on the go, in schools and restaurants, at games and events. This theme also lends itself to sustainability conversations, including reducing one's carbon footprint and decreasing food waste from school and work to home and beyond.
