Experiential Food & Nutrition Education – non kitchen based

Making Food Make Sense
Translating the Science of Nutrition into the Client Kitchen into Nourishing and Digestible Bites

The food and nutrition conversation is complex, forever changing and, for many clients, simply overwhelming. In this session we'll look at the concept of mind-mapping and how to use this information organization technique to reduce nutrition information noise. Using a case study as a framework, you'll learn how to organize complex science into easy-to-navigate visuals that enable easy understanding. Learn to graphically visualize for clients how your nutrition advice translates into specific nutrients, ingredients, recipes and ultimately to their plate. This workshop includes many examples of how mapping can be used in the practitioner, clinic, community and kitchen/cafeteria setting.

KEY TOPICS: Food and nutrition educational tools development; health and culinary information organization; nutrition education; mind mapping; cognitive science
