Breakout Sessions – Thursday Morning
| The Year the World Ran Out of Everything: Wherefore Art Thou, Supply Chain Management? (CE 7.0) Supply chains are used for the production, distribution and delivery of items. Supply chain management seeks opportunities to improve the value creation of activities required to transport products, store inventory and satisfy customer demand. Within the nutrition field, efficient supply chains enable food products to be available and accessible. The COVID pandemic has certainly demonstrated the global challenges created when product demand exceeds available supply, or when transportation availability is curtailed. This presentation focuses on supply chain management for nutrition products. Practical insights are provided to illustrate the prominent role played by supply chains in this industry. |

In Canada, >95% of adults, and >50% of children have a history of dental caries. Although dental caries is caused by numerous factors, the foods and nutrients we consume have a strong relationship with the development of this issue. This presentation will outline some of the relationships between nutrition and dental caries (which extends well beyond sugar) and will present the results of some of the new research being conducted on this topic at the University of Saskatchewan. |
