title: Effective nutrition from conception to adulthood.
abstract: This article summarises presentations at the plenary session of the Annual Meeting of the British Fertility Society, on Effective nutrition from conception to adulthood, held in Sheffield, UK in January 2014. It highlights the pivotal role of the late David Barker (1938-2014) in revolutionising our understanding of the influence of maternal, gamete, embryo, foetal and infant nutrition on the health of the offspring in later life.
