Nutrition throughout our lives - before conception and during pregnancy, breastfeeding, childhood and adolescence, not only impacts our risk for acquiring chronic diseases, but our descendants' risk as well. Our 2022 theme, Nutrition Now for a Healthier Future, highlights how every stage of our nutritional journey provides an opportunity to improve our health and the health of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We want to thank everyone who participated in the sixth annual, 2021 Oregon Nutrition Day, Diverse Nutrition for Diverse Communities.

This year, we heard from an inspiring group of leaders who are supporting the health and well-being of Black, Indigenous, Latinx and low-income communities. Speakers presented on programs, policies and food sovereignty initiatives that incorporate culturally affirming foods and practices that support the health of their communities.
