The second World Nutrition Congress is taking place at the University of Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa from 30 August – 2 September 2016.

The conference seeks to translate public health nutrition as a science, into public health policy and action. The conference will enable experts on food and nutrition to inform key policy-makers and researchers, as well as significantly shape the food and nutrition policy landscape in South Africa and globally, through attracting local and worldwide policy-makers, researchers and advocates.

The conference is jointly hosted by the World Public Health Nutrition Association, the University of Western Cape, School of Public Health and DST/NRF Centre of Excellence in Food Security
