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 ST 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.
