Abstract

Created in 1967, the Korean Nutrition Society (KNS) has been a vital contributor to the development of the health and nutrition of South Korea. With members from many different fields focusing on nutrition and health sciences, the impact of the KNS has not only been felt in South Korea, but also worldwide. The KNS has helped to establish and maintain dietary recommendations in addition to providing ways to make nutrition information readily available to members, as well as the public. The KNS has also established professional journals to advance scientific discoveries in nutrition and health. With 50 years of progress from the KNS, their contributions to nutrition and health will continue to have an impact throughout the world. To celebrate the 50th anniversary and growth of the KNS, an International Conference entitled “Integrative Nutrition for an Active Life” was held by the KNS in November 2017. The articles in this special issue of Nutrition Research are to commemorate the KNS efforts.

The contributions of the KNS in nutrition sciences have led to significant improvements in domestic and public improvements in nutrition knowledge, in addition to international collaborations across countries to advance the science and education of nutrition. The KNS is the only Korean pan-nutrition society to be a member of the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) and the Federation of Asian Nutrition Societies (FANS) [7]. In addition, the KNS exchanged a memorandum of understanding to provide forums for dialogue on timely issues, offer opportunities for collaboration, and foster tomorrow’s leaders in nutrition science with the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) in 2010, Japan Society of Nutrition and Food Science (JSNFS) in 2012, and both the Chinese Nutrition Society (CNS) and The Nutrition Society (NS) in 2014 [1]. The KNS promotes international fellowship and exchanges information and experiences in nutrition research, training, and action programs. The KNS has also been a partner affiliated with Nutrition Research, an Elsevier publication. The KNS has created a strategy map to actively translate and advocate nutrition science to the public, to implement policies and practices related to nutrition, and to mentor and support young nutritionists. The members of the KNS will continue to make significant contributions to the field of nutrition science while embracing the 50th anniversary slogan “50 Years of Health Together, 100 Years of Better Nutrition”.
