Data were obtained by a literature review of the first seven regions, but by means of a survey for the Caribbean. It was found that: 1) there was a dearth of adequately trained nutrition educators worldwide; 2) nutrition education appeared to be more easily incorporated into formal programmes as a part of other courses; 3) more attention needed to be given to indigenous foods, the science of nutrition, and pedagogic principles to be used in passing this on; 4) there be continuing support of international agencies in this field and cooperation among rich and poor countries; and 5) colleges should expand their outreach services to provide inservice teacher training, as well as to function as centres for information and advice on nutrition aspectsNutrition education
