Federally-Supported Human Nutrition Research, Training, and Education: Update for the 1980s. II. International Human Nutrition Research

摘要

Federally-supported international nutrition research continues to be important in advancing nutrition science, in assisting in the solution of food and nutrition problems throughout the world, and in strengthening our international relationships. The present report is a comprehensive review of Federal programs in international nutrition research. The report indicates that the substantial research and development capabilities and educational resources of the United States can make a major contribution to the world capability to achieve markedly increased food availability and to minimize the age-old threats of hunger and malnutrition. At the same time, these efforts could benefit both the producers and consumers of food in our own country by lowering production costs, increasing agricultural profitability, and helping to contain the rising cost of food.
