GDP Hosts Nutrition Symposium in Tokyo

GDP and Massey University hosted a symposium at the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) conference in Tokyo, December 6-11, 2022. IUNS, widely recognized as the largest international nutrition conference of its kind, was attended by more than 5,000 health and nutrition researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

The symposium, “The Importance of Protein Quality in a Sustainable Diet,” featured six speakers from five countries. Project Proteos, a six-year, multi-center research project directed by GDP to develop a more accurate method for assessing the protein quality of foods, was prominently featured in nearly all the presentations.

The interest in protein quality bodes well for a large international symposium being planned for September 2023 in Utrecht, Netherlands, “Dietary Protein for Human Health.” Symposium organizers include the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, GDP and several international universities. The event will feature 30 of the top protein scientists in the world who will present their views and data. More than 400 nutrition researchers, clinicians, and policy makers are expected to attend.
