Food Policy & Applied Nutrition
What policies work best to defeat hunger in industrialized and developing countries? Can economic growth and human welfare be promoted simultaneously? How "safe" is the food we consume? What kinds of projects succeed in improving the nutritional status of poor people? Who should be responsible for protecting the lives and food security of innocent women and children from the chaos of civil wars? These are just some of the questions tackled by students who enroll in the Food Policy and Applied Nutrition (FPAN) program. Designed around a high-quality, multidisciplinary teaching and research curriculum, the FPAN program seeks to equip students with the diverse skills and knowledge base they will need to make a successful impact on food policy and nutrition interventions worldwide. Although the forces of globalization are strong, each country and community continues to face different challenges. With its three fields of specialization the FPAN provides not only conceptual and analytical skills required by program managers and policy analysts, but also a solid foundation in applied statistical and research skills as well as in technical aspects of program planning, design, implementation, and evaluation.
