'Nutrition communication' can be defined as the process by which nutrition knowledge is converted into dietary change. Nutrition communication then includes nutrition education--the process by which people are informed, and sometimes empowered by, nutrition information--but also other actions taken to improve peoples' diets such as restricting misinformation about nutrition or manipulating the composition, availability or price of foods. Dietary goals for populations and food-based dietary guidelines for individuals constitute the starting point for nutrition communication, and if these could be more evidence-based we would be in a much stronger position to develop more effective nutrition communication. A population-based approach to nutrition communication is complementary to an individualistic approach in theory, but in practice they compete for attention in food policy making circles.
“营养传播”可定义为营养知识转化为饮食变化的过程。营养传播不仅包括营养教育——即人们获取营养信息并有时从中获得力量的过程，还包括为改善人们饮食而采取的其他行动，比如限制有关营养的错误信息，或控制食物的成分、可获得性或价格。人群的饮食目标和针对个人的基于食物的膳食指南构成了营养传播的起点，如果这些能有更多基于证据的内容，我们就能更有力地开展更有效的营养传播。从理论上讲，基于人群的营养传播方法与个人主义方法相辅相成，但在实践中，它们在食品政策制定圈子里争夺关注。
