43rd National Nutrient Databank Conference May 21-23, 2024-Ottawa

May 21-23, 2024 - Ottawa, Canada

Since 1976, the National Nutrient Databank Conference (NNDC) Steering Committee has organized formal meetings for food composition experts, researchers, and software developers/users to keep abreast of changes and developments in food composition databases (FCDBs). FCDBs are cornerstones to nutrition research, food and nutrition monitoring and surveillance, clinical nutrition practice, and food development. As such, they are important to the academia, federal government, healthcare professionals, food industry, database managers, and the public.

In particular, applications of FCDBs reach the nutrition and food community, assisting dietitians in counseling, clinicians in conducting research, and food companies in product development, labeling, and consumer relations.

Throughout the years, NNDC has gained increasing acknowledgment and participation, and it has been held as a satellite meeting to both the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American Society for Nutrition in the United States. Going forward, NNDC aims to enhance participation from international counterparts specializing in FCDBs to further shape the future of this unique field and, ultimately, to help maintain and improve nutrition health for all.
