Description¶

The article recommends structured professional development as a vehicle for building dietitians' capacity for food system change: "structured professional development, in this case a workshop featuring the PPH framework, increased confidence and enabled dietitians to support sustainable and healthy food systems". The half-day workshop combined climate-crisis introduction, professional commitments, the PPH model, scope and influence discussion, and individual and collective intention-setting, with pre–post measurement embedded in delivery.
