Food is

A Trusted Voice for Nutrition

MAKING AN IMPACT IN 2020-21

Translating research into impact requires getting the word out in a way that connects with the public. Our faculty, staff, researchers, alumni, and students excel at translating cutting edge science and smart policy beyond the academy. This year, we awarded the second biennial $100,000 Jean Mayer Prize for Excellence in Nutrition Science and Policy, made the case for a coordinated national investment in nutrition research, illustrated the confusion in whole grains and food labeling, and investigated exactly how much food can be grown locally across the United States. There’s always something happening here to shape the food environment into a healthier and more equitable system.

A Global Perspective

RESEARCH & ACTIVITIES IN 2020-21

The many research projects and other activities we highlight are designed to take the long view. From creating momentum to establish a new national-level investment in nutrition research and finding solutions to provide new mothers with safe remote help with the WIC program, to a newly created series of events on Kwashiorkor malnutrition, the impact we make is truly global. Our expertise in gathering stakeholders and creating scholarship shows that supporting our community of faculty, staff, students, and alums is always a worthy investment.
