Whole Grain Summit 2015

The Whole Grain Summit 2015 was held June 24 -26, 2015 at the Nines Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon.

The Moore Family Center for Whole Grain Foods, Nutrition and Preventive Health at Oregon State University and the Grains for Health Foundation hosted this event and would like to thank everyone who came and joined in the conversation.

The Whole Grain Summit convened scientists, business, and health professionals from around the world to examine where we’ve been and where we’re going in the area of research on whole grains and health.

The overall goal of the Whole Grain Summit 2015 was, from seed to community impact, to identify innovative and collective solutions, synergies and outcomes to bring whole grains to the forefront in health in the population. We aspired to provide a platform to engage and inspire the whole grain community, across multiple disciplines, from farm to consumers, to come together and work towards collaborative system-wide solutions with true impact on the population’s health.

Stay tuned for more information about the next Whole Grain Summit!
