• Dietary assessment and nutrition surveillance – advances in dietary measurement methods, biomarkers, digital tools, and approaches to improve accuracy of nutrition assessment.
• Nutrition behaviour change and intervention strategies – evidence‑based approaches to promote healthier dietary practices among individuals, families, and communities.
• Digital health and innovative technologies in nutrition – applications of mobile health, artificial intelligence, and technology‑enabled solutions to support nutrition monitoring and interventions.
• Nutrition and prevention of non‑communicable diseases – strategies targeting obesity, metabolic health, and diet‑related chronic disease prevention across populations.
• Translation of nutrition research into policy and practice – implementation science, community‑based programmes, and approaches to bridge evidence gaps and strengthen nutrition policies.
