Overview
Our mission: to communicate
evidence based information
on nutrition, health and physical activity to encourage an improved and healthier society in Ireland
.
The Nutrition & Health Foundation has a multi-stakeholder approach to addressing the health challenges of our nation, by bringing together industry, government, state agencies, internationally recognised scientists, health professionals and other relevant stakeholders. The Foundation is led by the food and drink industry through IBEC’s food division, Food and Drink Industry Ireland (FDII).
The
key objectives of the NHF
are to:
Undertake and contribute to scientific studies and subsequently to provide research, statistical based data and consumer insight on a published basis
Develop, launch and run initiatives for the promotion of healthy lifestyles
Align with and support public health messages where applicable
Work with governmental and non-governmental agencies in the implementation of the NTFO recommendations, the National Nutrition Policy, W.H.O. Second Action Plan and in the development of related strategies on healthy lifestyles
Continue to develop the NHF brand and its multi stakeholder approach
Promote the positive role that the NHF is playing in the area of health and wellness
The scientific grounding for the Foundation’s activities is provided through its links with the Irish Universities Nutrition Alliance (IUNA), the Exercise and Sports Science Association of Ireland (ESSAI), the Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute (INDI), the National Dairy Council (NDC), University College Dublin and St. Angela's College, Sligo.
