Defence Nutrition Workshop, April 2006, Proceedings

Abstract

As a component of the Defence Nutrition Plan, the Defence Nutrition Workshop was conducted to provide guidance to DSTO-Scottsdale on the most effective and efficient way in which S&T support could be provided to the ADF in nutrition and food science. Experts from Australia and overseas presented on the current status and likely future directions of research into a wide range of Defence-related food science and nutrition issues. These include development of rations for short-term operations, educating warfighters in better nutrition, development of a procurement process for combat ration packs, and the potential for particular forms of carbohydrate to enhance or maintain ADF health and performance.
