Nutrition Communication with the Nutrition Source

Based in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Nutrition Source provides research-forward information about a wide range of nutrition topics. Its mission is to “help readers cut through nutrition confusion and misinformation and apply sound, evidence-based principles for healthy living.” Their resources use simple language and are freely accessible to anyone with internet access. Deliverables for this project include a summary of available literature on whether local foods and organic foods are more environmentally sustainable than non-local foods or non-organic foods. This information expands the organization’s “Planetary Health” page with commonly discussed and questioned topics.
