Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) Strategic Plan 2000-2005

摘要

The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) was established in December1994 pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding between two mission areas in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): (1) Research, Education and Economics and (2) Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services. CNPP strives to further the Departments goal to promote nutrition and health by providing access to a safe, affordable, and nutritious food supply by developing and promoting science-based dietary guidance and economic information for the public, which includes consumers and professionals in health, education, industry, and media. CNPP, a multidisciplinary organization, is composed of nutritionists, economists, dietitians, and nutrition educators. CNPP develops integrated nutrition research, education, and promotion programs and is a recognized authority for providing science-based dietary guidance for the American public and for policy development. CNPPs mission is critically important, for in 4 of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States, a poor diet and lack of physical activity are significant contributing factors.
