The day will this time be devoted to a discussion of dietary and nutritional advice and how it is useful in daily life.
The title of the conference will be:
Dietary and nutritional advice - new emphasis
The main aim of the conference is to explain what is behind the recommendations on diet and nutrients, how they are created and how they are used in prevention and product development in the food industry. The Nordic keyhole and its possible uses will be introduced, but it is planned to introduce it in this country.
This year, new Nordic nutrition recommendations will be presented at the conference. The audit has lasted for four years with the involvement of a number of Icelandic experts and scholars, most of whom are academic staff at the University of Iceland and active in research in the field of nutrition. Icelandic dietary and nutritional recommendations are largely based on the Nordic ones and will be reviewed as a result.
Food Day is celebrated on FAO International Food Day, which is held on 16 October each year. On the occasion of Food Day, the Food and Nutrition Association publishes a successful newsletter Food is on the side of man, which discusses International Food Day as well as various interesting issues in the field of food industry and food.
On Food Day, Fjöregg MNÍ will be handed over, which is awarded for a praiseworthy initiative in the field of food production and human consumption. Fjöreggið is a great prize, designed and built by Gleri in Bergvík and has been donated by the Confederation of Icelandic Industries from the beginning. Orri Hauksson, CEO of SI, hands over Fjöreggið.
