About the event
ICN is a meeting of the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) that takes place every four years, the tenth of which was successfully held in Kyoto in 1975. I would like to add that this occasion also presents an opportunity to celebrate IUNS’s Diamond Jubilee, as the first ICN was held in 1946.
The world is currently faced with a variety of issues pertaining to nutrition, including food shortages, malnutrition, population growth, over-nutrition, diversification of dietary habits, threats to food safety, and the aging of society. Japan has tackled all of these issues over a relatively short period of time, devising various means to resolve them, thanks to the ingenuity and flexibility of the people of Japan.
The population of our planet is projected to grow to 10 billion over the course of this century. Nutrition has the power to provide health and happiness to people living today, as well as to future generations, as we head towards the 22nd century. Accordingly, we have chosen as the theme of the congress, "The Power of Nutrition: For the Smiles of 10 Billion People." It is our hope that by bringing all of you from around the world together in Tokyo in 2022, we can engage in valuable discussions on nutritional issues. In addition, we are considering a collaborative project with the Tokyo Nutrition for Growth Summit to be held in December 2021, which we would expect to yield a synergistic effect. The congress will be an ideal opportunity for participants to reaffirm or rediscover their mission to help realize good health and happiness for future generations.
