The leading conference on
“Transdisciplinary Approaches in Addressing
Nutrition Challenges”
aims to explore innovative strategies and
collaborative efforts from various disciplines to
tackle the complex issue of malnutrition in India.
It seeks to integrate perspectives from nutrition
science, public health, agriculture, policymaking,
and community engagement to develop comprehensive
solutions that address the country’s multifaceted
nature of nutrition challenges.
This year's theme is carefully chosen in light
of India's complex array of nutrition
challenges, which include the triple burden of
malnutrition and non-communicable diseases
associated with nutrition. These challenges,
which encompass issues such as the dual burden
of malnutrition, hidden hunger, and
non-communicable diseases linked to nutrition,
cannot be effectively addressed through isolated
disciplinary approaches.
Embracing a transdisciplinary approach acknowledges the necessity of amalgamating knowledge and proficiency from a variety of domains, including nutrition science, public health, agriculture, economics, sociology, culinary science and policy-making, to comprehensively tackle these concerns.
This theme fosters collaboration and ingenuity by assembling specialists, scientists from diverse fields, nurturing interdisciplinary address, and capitalizing on varied perspectives. This collaborative environment fosters the creation of innovative strategies, interventions, and policies that are more impactful, culturally attuned, and sustainable in addressing India's nutrition challenges.
The various sessions of the conference aim to demonstrate the evidence of utilizing a transdisciplinary approach in capacity-building endeavours, focusing on cross-disciplinary education, skill development, and knowledge sharing among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community stakeholders.
This empowerment facilitates the cultivation of context-specific solutions and the implementation of evidence-based interventions tailored to the distinct needs of India's diverse populace.

The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nutrition
Practice and Research is becoming increasingly
significant as technology continues to advance.
AI offers innovative tools and methodologies for
analysing vast amounts of nutritional data, identifying
patterns, and providing personalized recommendations.
This session will delve into AI’s applications,
challenges, and prospects in nutrition, highlighting its
transformative impact on improving health outcomes and
informing evidence-based dietary interventions.
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) debate revolves around the
question:
“Does it depict hunger and malnutrition
accurately?”
This discussion delves into the effectiveness of the GHI
as a measure of food insecurity and malnutrition
worldwide. This debate aims to critically examine the
strengths and limitations of the GHI as a tool for
assessing global hunger and malnutrition and explore
alternative approaches to measuring and addressing these
complex issues.
The Scientific program promises a rich array of plenary lectures, oral presentations, and poster sessions covering an extensive range of topics pertinent to the conference theme.
The eminent speakers will deliver sessions to tackle the pressing challenges in nutrition and collectively pave the way for a healthier future.
