Abstract: The 1977 Food and Agriculture Act designated the Department of Agriculture as the lead agency for the conduct of human nutrition research. It specifies five priority areas for basic and applied research and nutrition education research : (1) human nutrition requirements; (2) composition of foods and the effects of agricultural practices, handling, processing and cooking on nutrients; (3) surveillance of nutritional benefits to participate in USDA programs; (4) factors affecting consumer food preferences and eating habits and (5) development of techniques and equipment to assist consumers in selecting food to provide a nutritionally balanced diet. The comprehensive plan for delivery of human nutrition research and services is a plan with a basic statement of purpose and priorities which describes current programs for meeting the priorities and concludes with a discussion of future goals and implementation plans.

Book Description

Abstract: An overview of progress in coordinating Federal nutrition research efforts and identifying areas in need of improvement are provided. Much progress has been made within and among Federal human nutrition research departments and agencies since Congress called for improved coordination in the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977. It is recommended that such coordination efforts continue and that agencies and departments plan their research efforts in conjunction with other Federal supporters of nutrition research to avoid duplication or inadequate coverage. The director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy should direct the Joint Subcommittee on Human Nutrition Research to develop a Federal nutrition research plan with input from agencies and departments which engage in human nutrition research.
