Session Outlines and Learning Objectives
About the session
Although there is now universal consensus that a plant-rich diet should be eaten to help with health and planet, studies show that some people still perceive this as difficult to achieve, while some have concerns and in others myths around plant-based eating are observed. So what are these and how can we help more consumers to overcome challenges and enjoy a plant-rich diet?
In this session we will hear from
Two expert Dietitians on either side of the Atlantic who are both inspiring consumers to enjoy a more plant-rich diet. In interview with X they will share their expertise in translating the science into accessible ways that consumers can understand providing practical and inspirational solutions and support to overcoming the perceived barriers.

About Oatly
We are the world’s original and largest oat drink company. For over 25 years, we have exclusively focused on developing expertise around oats: a global power crop with inherent properties suited for sustainability and human health. Our commitment to oats has resulted in core technical advancements that enabled us to unlock the breadth of the dairy portfolio, including alternatives to milks, ice cream, yogurt, cooking creams, and spreads. Headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, the Oatly brand is available in more than 20 countries globally.
We aim to help drive a systemic shift in society to a more plant-based food system to tackle climate change and public health challenges. We always aim for our products to have as good as or better nutritional profile than the dairy benchmark.
