A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a one-day public workshop exploring issues related to communications among food producers, researchers, and consumers on agriculture and farming and their impact on nutrition and health. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions that will explore both traditional and non-traditional communications techniques and methodologies with regard to topics such as:

• Identifying ways to communicate to the public about the influence of agriculture supply chains, and agriculture and farming practices on nutrition and health, specifically:
  - Approaches to communications about emerging agricultural technologies and discoveries;
  - Translation of agricultural research into farming practices and strategies to enhance food quality; and
  - Application of food safety standards to enhance benefits to health and well-being.
• Communicating and educating both professional colleagues and consumers about key discoveries from other disciplines that can benefit from food and nutrition research.
• Communicating information about diet, nutrition, and health from researchers and consumers back to food producers.
• Exploring ways to connect agricultural and farming systems with nutrition and health systems, including identifying gaps between the nutrient composition of foods at the production level and diet quality of the foods being consumed.

The planning committee will organize the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
