title: Dietitians: experts about food systems?
abstract: Dietary advice that promotes optimal nutrition presupposes adequate land for growing food, environmental quality conducive to food production, stable government, a strong economy, and community food security (or a reliable transportation system). Without these conditions, recommendations for optimal nutrition become moot. Our profession will be strengthened as we develop a broad knowledge of our entire food system.
