Relevance and Implications of Precision Nutrition to Nutrition Education and Behavior Research, Practice, and Policy

Precision Nutrition (PN) is a rapidly evolving field, yet the implications are unknown for nutrition education and behavior. The objectives of this perspective are to describe current nutrition education and behavior research as it relates to PN and identify gaps and opportunities for nutrition education and behavior research, practice, and policy. It is our perspective that nutrition education professionals have an important role in PN through implementation science and community-engaged approaches, artificial intelligence, such as machine learning to tailor nutrition recommendations, digital health tools, and Food is Medicine efforts to ensure that tailored health benefits reach diverse populations broadly.
