Nutrition starts on the farm

And while farming is about food production whether that be salmon, oysters, soyabeans, beef or mangoes, no farm is the same. And food production is complex: no environment is the same. Farmers have to work with the confines of an environment – soil, water availability and quality, physical terrain, temperature, sunshine, air quality, genetics and so much more – that they largely do not have control over. It’s complex, is scientific, it is not black and white.

Those who work in the food industry, nutrition and health more often that not are being questioned about both the nutritional aspects of food and diets, but increasingly are being challenged by environmental and sustainable issues relating to food production. In order to understand food and nutrition adequately, position your product range with health and sustainability in mind so that you can make informed decisions, it's important to see, feel, touch, taste, smell where it all starts: on farm.

Conversely, primary producers would benefit from seeing what happens further up the line - what they start off on their farms, and the true impact of food through the food industry and onto consumers. Breaking down silos, appreciating food as the source of nutrition, is important in upgrading the low-value commodity mindset.

Part of what makes me different is my broad and deep understanding of the complexity of the food supply. Not only is this based on scientific and public health expertise, but it also entails immersing myself across sectors, from farm to industry to supply chain to lab. I learn by exploring first hand. And that is what the nutrition food tours is all about.

Opening up the world of nutrition and food so that you can also learn, ask questions, and meet the on-the-ground experts in real time. Carefully curated, with the aim of broadening perspectives, deepening knowledge, breaking down silos, and fostering collaborations, I take you on a journey to experience food production up close and personal. Subject to season, and small size groups allows for greater appreciation of the experience.

Gain clarity by being immersed in reality.

Dr Anneline explores the journey of food supply but through the view of nutrition science, individual and planetary health. Nutrition is only as good as the quality of food that is eaten. Take ownership of food decisions with evidence-based science and practical realities.

"Anneline, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in hosting Boot Camp last week.

In my experience, seminars like this can go two ways, especially when you have a mix of large multinationals with passionate family producers, Govt and policy institutions sat alongside naked commercial interests.

The success in pulling these diverse interests together and creating an engaging and thought provoking day for such a mix was largely due to yourself.

You set exactly the right tone for the day with your mega trend presentation and then pulled out the right mix of stories, emotion and information from the panel sessions. Your pre work research and creative "on your feet" thinking made it feel relevant and fresh. “
