InhaltFood-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDGs) provide the backbone for government recommendations on achieving a healthy balanced diet, shaping nutrition education initiatives and food policies around the world. National guidelines are tailored to suit cultural preferences, food and nutrition security, and aim to reduce the risk of diet related diseases. Nevertheless, many are being challenged to consider the environmental impact of food production, leading to shift in plant-rich diets with less reliance on animal-sourced foods.
However, many discussions have a narrow view and tend to focus on the global perspective, prioritising the environment over nutrition and health, which could lead to unintended consequences in the long term.
Dairy foods are, by nature, nutrient rich – providing high quality proteins and bioavailable nutrients in a unique combination and structure, known as the dairy matrix. They contribute significantly to micronutrient intakes, including under consumed nutrients, across the life course. Research shows that milk and dairy help to optimise the nutrition and health effects of plant-rich diets. Drastically reducing dairy from FBDGs could impact nutrition security, the burden of non-communicable diseases, and increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition in vulnerable population groups.
This symposium aims to explore the complex interplay between dairy consumption, food-based dietary guidelines, and sustainable nutrition policies.
