The Global Panel brief is an urgent read for all dietitians during the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that millions of people struggle with food insecurity already. Learn how countries are responding to help their citizens with food supplements such as grains and how every component of the food system is affected. Some take-aways as dietetic experts should be that it is important for us to know what foods are being given out as supplements to the populations.  We should ask, is it still enough to meet people’s needs during this time? In addition to food supplementation, read about how some governments might use public messaging to promote healthy eating during the pandemic time and think about how credentialed dietitian professionals can help with that messaging. Finally, the Global Panel brief points to challenges on what the global food situation may look like post pandemic. Given all this information, as the dietitian, how can you make an impact?
