Food, Nutrition, & Health Overview

America is committing increased dollars and resources to remedy the negative effects of poor dietary choices and unhealthy lifestyles, foodborne illnesses, and the potential for terrorist-related and other threats to the food supply. At the same time, millions of Americans struggle to obtain sufficient food, while U.S. food suppliers scramble to keep up with changing food trends. Through program leadership and funding opportunities, NIFA' Food, Nutrition & Health programs strengthen the nation's capacity to address issues related to diet, health, food safety, food security, and food science and technology.
