It is more important than ever to consider trends in nutrition across the world, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the wide discrepancies in access to healthcare, good nutrition, and health outcomes. The 98th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop was delivered in October 2022 in collaboration with the International Academy of Nutritional Educators and NNedPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health, and focussed on the personal and research experiences of the speakers. Speakers included international leaders in nutrition throughout the lifespan, with a focus on optimising dietary quality to promote health and wellbeing. Good nutrition is vital in the first 1,000 days of life, particularly for shaping immune responses but this extends through to much later in life, when appropriate nutritional support can help keep vulnerable people out of hospital and living independently at home. The pandemic also made us take stock of the burden of malnutrition, both over and under nutrition, and health inequalities worldwide. This multidisciplinary workshop provided a platform to reflect on, and discuss what we have learned previously, as well as looking forwards to the future of global health and nutrition and considering how innovative digital technologies could be harnessed to progress this field.
