Food insecurity, climate change, and sustainability are not words typically associated with the nutritional value of food. Even so, as USDA sets the stage to write their next Dietary Guidelines, activists are pushing to expand the federal government’s definition what “nutrition” could mean to policymakers and consumers. At Potato Expo 2022, top experts in food policy sat down to talk about how anti-potato activists are trying to influence nutrition policy – and what the industry is doing to head them off at the pass.

Guests: 

• Allie Graham, MS, RDN, Senior Director, Food Policy & Global Regulatory Affairs, Food Directions 
• Robert Guenther, Chief Public Policy Officer, International Fresh Produce Association
