Keynote Panel (Salon C): Healthy Eating in a Wicked World: Navigating Science and
Policy in a Complex Food Environment
3 : 3 5 p m
–
4 : 3 0 p m
Epidemics in obesity and antibiotic resistant infections are both "wicked problems",
reflecting the complex systems that gave rise to them, and the interactions of a
multitude of medical, social, environmental and economic factors. In both cases, that
complexity has hindered both scientific understanding of the issues, as well marshaling
the data and political will to take steps to address them. Dr. Wallinga introduces some
epistemological challenges for children's environmental health as it confronts wicked
problems, like these. Dr. Dietz talks about his work to foster an effective systems
approach to understanding and take action to curb the epidemic of obesity and related
disease. Dr. Price discusses the microbial ecosystem as a wicked system, and particular
challenges to addressing resistance in a policy context where most antimicrobial use
takes place in the production of livestock and poultry.

Keynote Panel (Salon C): Regulators and Scientists – Overcoming Barriers to Promoting
Healthy Development
This panel will consider opportunities to overcome some of the science, policy, and
regulatory challenges before us to better protect children's environmental health. The
interactions of food and environmental factors that affect children's environmental
health and the information we can use to leverage public health and policy action will
be discussed.
