The Nutrition Department has played a pivotal role in shaping the health and well-being of the Thai population through groundbreaking initiatives and policies. With a commitment to evidence-based strategies, the department has successfully driven national efforts such as the Thailand National Nutrition Action Plan, a comprehensive roadmap addressing malnutrition and promoting optimal health. The development of Food-Based Dietary Guidelines has provided clear and practical recommendations to encourage balanced and sustainable eating habits among Thais.
A key milestone, The Miracle of 1,000 Days Toward 2,500 Days, has reinforced the importance of early childhood nutrition, expanding its focus from maternal and infant health to a child’s crucial first seven years. Additionally, the department has led the integration of Food and Nutrition Management and Curriculum in Schools, ensuring that young learners receive proper nourishment and nutrition education from an early age.
Moreover, the Thai Food Composition Table serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, providing accurate data to support informed dietary decisions. These achievements underscore the Nutrition Department’s unwavering dedication to improving the nation’s nutritional landscape and fostering a healthier future for all.
