Food Policy & Applied Nutrition
In the United States and globally, key research and policy issues connect to nutrition.
- Will the generation of children born today suffer shortened lives due to diet-related chronic diseases?
- Can early investments in better childhood nutrition promote economic development in low-income countries?
- What are the appropriate roles of local production, international food aid, and international food trade, in reducing hunger and malnutrition around the world?
- Do high cost and limited availability of healthy food options, including fresh fruits and vegetables, make it difficult for low-income families to afford healthy food choices?
- How can one assess the cost-effectiveness of a humanitarian assistance intervention in a crisis setting, when traditional data collection tools are infeasible?
- Which of the many proposed reforms to the current U.S and international food systems are environmentally wise, economically sound, and politically feasible?
The Food Policy & Applied Nutrition (FPAN) Program offers a multidisciplinary curriculum in nutrition science, statistics, economics, and food policy. Graduates from the M.S., Ph.D., and several dual-degree programs possess the skills and knowledge to make an impact on food and nutrition programs and policies in the United States and around the world. Three specializations — Food Policy and Economics, Nutrition Interventions, and Humanitarian Assistance — provide advanced theoretical and applied preparation for positions in government, research institutions, international agencies, the nonprofit sector, and the food and agricultural industries.
