- Details
- Resources
The Universal House of Justice states that “increasing attention needs to be given other processes that seek to enhance the life of the community,” including the example of “improving public health.” The goal of this session is to explore “the implications that the teachings hold” for the field of nutrition as a key determinant of both individual and public health. Participants will be exposed to the latest scientific evidence and connections will be drawn to Bahá’í concepts and community experiences. A seminar preceding the conference will be held and insights from this session will be shared during this interactive session.
