Description
Summary:The dietary guidelines of Slovenia, '12 Steps to Healthy Eating', were first published in 2000 and revised in 2011. The 'Food Guide Pyramid' was initially published in 2000 and subsequently revised in 2015. 'The Healthy Plate' was first introduced in 2007. In February 2023, the Slovenian Strategic Council for Nutrition proposed new Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDGs) that integrate both health and environmental considerations. In September 2023, the creation of new FBDGs was included in the Action Plan for implementing the Resolution on the National Program on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Health 2015-2025. In October 2023, the Ministry of Health of Slovenia appointed the core working group of 10 multidisciplinary experts from fields such as nutrition, food science medicine, public health, environment, pharmacy, and agriculture led by Prof. Dr. Nataša Fidler Mis, who drafted the guidelines. In February 2024, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe organized a virtual international workshop to assist Slovenia in developing food-based dietary guidelines. In May 2024, an international expert meeting was organized by the Ministry of Health of Slovenia, the Ministry of the Environment, Climate, and Energy, and the National Institute of Public Health of Slovenia to present the first scientific draft of the SLO FBDG for external international peer review. The meeting included lectures from world-leading experts to present healthy diets from sustainable food systems, integrate climate and sustainability aspects into the new SLO FBDG, discuss the findings with the Slovenian core working group, extended working group of the SLO FBDG, and invited experts. The final version of SLO FBDG is expected to be released by the end of 2024.
