2025-2026 Presidential Priorities
- Broaden the scope of nutrition through the transdisciplinary paradigm/lens of One Health. One Health is the most sustainable approach to achieve optimal health for all, by recognizing that the health of animals, humans, plants and ecosystems are closely connected and intertwined, and we must view health and healthcare more wholistically. Thus, the One Health approach covers:
- Expand/strengthen ASN’s global partnerships and collaborations with relevant agencies to advance nutrition science: These organizations include:
- MENA and AFRICA nutrition organizations
- FANUS (Federation of the African Nutrition and Environment)
- SMNSE (Moroccan Society of Nutrition, Health and Environment)
- NSSA (Nutrition Society of South Africa)
- NSN (Nutrition Society of Nigeria)
- ENA (Emirates Nutrition Association)
- Egypt
- Jordan
- Americas – North, South, Central and Caribbean
- Federation of Pan-American Nutrition Societies (FEPANS)
- Brazil Society for Food and Nutrition (SBAN)
- Canadian Nutrition Society (CNS)
- IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)
- CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research)
- MENA and AFRICA nutrition organizations
- Organize regional conferences and workshops on specific topics related to nutrition: This will be achieved through:
- Increased collaborations/partnerships/programming with ANDP and various relevant nutrition-related professional societies and organizations (such as FASEB, TOS, ADA, AHA)
- (GEM/RIS led) Conferences or workshops – FASEB SRC format
- Explore revenue opportunities for sustainability of new and existing conferences through grants, sponsorship and other financial support.
- Re-engaging more Basic Science researchers in ASN
- Re-engaging more clinical practitioners in ASN
- Expand ASN’s leadership role in advocacy, policy, and education in the US and globally to support its members. This will be achieved through collaborations with the USG and global partner organizations to ensure that nutrition research remains relevant, science-based, and continues to address the current challenges while supporting workforce development. This can be achieved by:
