Description

Nutritional Strategies, Predictive Models, and Sustainable Policies brings together scientists, professors, and policymakers from over 10 countries to cover strategies and approaches to improve human health by focusing on the nutritional needs of children, pregnant women, and patients from around the world. Sections cover existing policies in specific geographical areas, critical reviews on the scientific updates of maternal, pediatric, and geriatric nutrition and how the Pandemic disrupted nutritional strategies, review predictive models on different nutrition categories for certain diseases and cancers, and highlight international and regional policies related to nutrition in war affected countries.

Key features

  • Identifies the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating mothers, children, and geriatric patients
  • Discusses how the Pandemic disrupted nutritional strategies
  • Covers nutrition maps, predictive modeling, and regional policies
  • Represents Southeast Asia, South America, North America, and India

Sandeep K. Panda

Dr. Sandeep Kumar Panda has been trained in ICAR, CSIR, and IIT laboratories and the University of Johannesburg during his Doctoral and Post-Doctoral research career. His current research focuses on microbial technology for underutilized fruits and vegetables for the development of functional foods and beverages. Dr. Panda’s research work is directed towards food security challenges and poverty amongst communities of Southeast Asia and Africa. His team works in interlinking social engineering to fermentation technology so that the knowledge and technology can be harnessed at the community level for the preservation and bioprocessing of perishable fruits and vegetables. Effective planning and training on fermentation technology at the community level for generating revenue in different tribal pockets of India as well as the globe, has been one of Dr. Panda’s important research agendas.
