11-12 July 2008, Adelaide, South Australia

This conference has been organised by APHNAC in association with SA Health and the Public Health Association of Australia. The conference aims to provide the opportunity for public health nutrition practitioners to consider and discuss ways in which new ideas in public health nutrition can be moved from principles to practice, from rhetoric to reality. Current ideas in public health nutrition - including the impact of food costs and other social issues, and environmental imperatives - will be examined. Emphasis will be given to methodologies and actions required to address these issues, and the necessary evaluation needed to assess effectiveness.

The conference features Dr Adam Drewnowski, whose work has been influential in shaping public health nutrition ideas.

The conference will use opening and keynote addresses, proffered papers, workshops, discussion forums and plenary sessions to provide opportunity for interaction between participants, plus assimilation and integration of ideas for action.

The conference will include an evening Symposium (costs included in registration) comprising food, wine and music, plus discussion and debate titled: The Dietary Guidelines are killing Australians!
