Professor Dr Anette Buyken, nutritionist at Paderborn University, has been appointed Deputy Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for Agricultural Policy, Nutrition and Consumer Health Protection (WBAE) at the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Home Affairs (BMLEH). The professor is already in her second term as a member of the committee. The WBAE is an interdisziplin?r committee and advises the Ministry on the development of its policy. The advisory board works on an honorary basis, is independent and prepares expert opinions and statements on topics of its own choosing.
At Paderborn University, Professor Buyken heads the "Public Health Nutrition" working group at the Institute of Nutrition, Consumption and Health. "My research focusses on nutritional environments, among other things. These are often designed in such a way that they make it unnecessarily difficult for people to eat healthily. In order for this to change, policymakers need to establish a framework. I am very pleased to be able to continue to help shape this in a responsible position as an advisor."
