| We are a group of dietitians, dietetic technicians, and students who are current members of The American Dietetic Association or Friends of the DPG. Hunger & Environmental Nutrition (HEN) members share the vision that HEN members are the most valued source of nutrition services to promote access to nutritious food and clean water from a secure and sustainable environment.
While many of our members devote their professional time to issues of hunger, food security, and sustainable agriculture, these issues pertain to all of us in the nutrition profession, truly making us a DPG for all ADA members. We invite you to visit the pages of our website and join the HEN DPG to keep abreast of the latest issues in food security and environmental nutrition.
