Beginning in 1942 with The Food and Nutrition of Industrial Workers in War Time (Boudreau and Goodhart, 1942) and continuing up to the present, reports on improving food assistance programs for pregnant women, infants, and children; school meals; and adult and child day care have addressed these needs, she said.

Others included Conrad Elvehjem, who discovered two vitamins; Icie Hoobler, one of the first pediatric nutrition scientists; Charles Glen King, who wrote the opening article in the first volume of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and who published the identity of vitamin C before it was published by Szent-Gyorgyi, who received the Nobel prize for the work; and William Rose, who worked out all of the initial amino acid requirements.

The report provided the basis for doing this work, noting that the project sponsor, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is involved worldwide in providing food and nutrition and evaluating the health of young children and women of reproductive age. King emphasized that the report recommendations included regular updates, and that there should be a clear, transparent process for how the numbers are derived.

This means that it is critical to address effects on climate, climate literacy, food, nutrition, and health. In the future, she said, "we are going to have to shift the way we approach this and be thinking about how food and agriculture policies need to be based on air quality and environmental management, and how will that shift affect nutrition and health." The last report mentioned by King was Science Breakthroughs to Advance Food and Agricultural Research by 2030 (NASEM, 2019)

Finally, she asked that work continue on harmonizing nutrient recommendations that reflect the strong global collaborations in place in food production and development. DISCUSSION Rowe opened the discussion by asking the speakers to give their thoughts on the factors behind the success of the FNB over the past 80 years.
