Portion Balance Coalition Convening
As the new administration's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda takes shape, the Portion Balance Coalition (PBC) is coming together to ensure that portion balance is recognized as a critical science-based solution for public health and sustainability.
Portion balance has emerged as a powerful, cost-effective strategy to improve health outcomes, reduce food waste, and support industry sustainability efforts. This year's on-campus Portion Balance Coalition Convening at Georgetown University will bring together RDNs, government relations professionals, nonprofit and industry leaders, and advocates to strategize, plan, and position portion balance as a key part of the MAHA agenda. Attendees will gain insights, advocacy tools, and messaging strategies to engage with policymakers and key stakeholders effectively.
Event Highlights:
Expert discussions on how to prepare to align with MAHA’s public health and food sustainability priorities
Breakout sessions on key topics, including:
Communicating & Advocating Portion Strategies to MAHA
Portion Guidance Education & Innovation for GLP-1 Users
Portion Solutions for Ultra-Processed Foods and Moderation as a Key Strategy
Opportunities to define what RDNs & government relations professionals need to lead the conversation
Portions Innovation & Business Impact, including case studies by brands that are leading the way in portioned products and sustainable packaging
Networking with industry leaders, policymakers, and advocates
Your participation in this event is very important to the PBC's mission. By coming together, we will ensure that portion balance is a key priority in the MAHA era and that policymakers recognize it as a key strategy for improving public health and reducing food waste.
