The three arenas of community nutrition practice are as follows:
1. People
2. Policy
3. Programs
People are the individuals who benefit from the community programs and services. They range from small kids to elderly people, from young single mothers to senior business executives, from pregnant teenagers with iron deficiency anemia to grandfathers with Alzheimer's disease.
Through community nutrition programs and services, all these people along with their families have access to food in times of need. The programs help them to learn skills that improve their eating patterns.
Policy is a very essential part of community nutrition practice. It is a course of action chosen by the public authorities to address any given problem. It is the policy that governments and organizations aim to accomplish through their laws, programs, and regulations.
Preventing the wastage of food and supplying it to the needy is one of the policies in community nutrition practice. This helps the whole community to maintain good health; otherwise, certain people in the community benefit, while others suffer.
Programs are conducted to bring behavioural changes in the people, such that they help themselves improve their nutritional status and health. Main moto of the programs is to improve the nutritional status and health status of the community. It is the community nutritionists that try to bring these changes.
They target something like reducing cholera cases, minimising osteoporosis cases, and so on. They explain the good practices that reduce these cases, by conducting programs. They try to bring awareness of the foods that reduce health problems. Thus, they seek behavioural changes that help reduce diseases and maintain good healthy community.
