Commitment description

The Federation of Japanese Nutrition Societies (FJNS), through survey and review of its member societies' "extensive research on nutrition issues in Japan", will demonstrate the effectiveness of the Japanese diet towards tackling the double burden of malnutrition. By supporting and empowering personnel, especially young researchers and health professionals, who can bridge such research-based evidence to practice, FJNS commits to resolve global nutritional challenges. To achieve this, by 2030, FJNS will organize/support research/training programs (e.g., research grants, e-learning programs, practical education programs, and overseas research fellowships) through its member societies' activities, primarily for young professionals in Japan as well as other countries. More than 300 individuals are expected to participate the programs. Progress will be reported at symposia and workshops held during the International Congress of Nutrition and the Asian Congress of Nutrition to provide information and to recruit new candidates.
