Conference aims:

• To enquire whether the effect of diet on behaviour and learning is sufficiently well established to inform educational policy and practice

• To identify reliable sources of information to which educators can refer with confidence

• To explore the practicality of adopting practices which would significantly affect student diet, to the extent that such changes would also affect behaviour and learning

• To examine case studies and investigate good practice from comparable Institutions, including sources of project work to focus student attention on managing their diet and behaviour
