Education & Training
Did you know it can take about 17 years for research to be put into practice? The gap between research and practice is often referred to as the “leaky pipeline”. The team at Nutrition Connections works hard to mitigate this by staying up-to date on the current research and in turn curating evidence-based nutrition and food resources to help support your work.
