University of California-Davis (The Department of Nutrition)

The Department of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis, is internationally recognized for its leadership in teaching, including outreach, and research. With respect to teaching, the department is focused on two goals: 1) the training of the next generation of nutrition scientists, and 2) the transmittal of nutrition knowledge to our nation's citizenry. The Department is committed to extending science-based information to the public through local, state, national and international channels. Graduates of the nutrition program at UC Davis are recognized as among the best in the country and are aggressively recruited for positions in industry, government and educational institutes. For sharing accurate nutrition information, UC Davis with the support of UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources is committed to outreach efforts that have the common goal of improving the health of all Americans.

As an example, several programs developed by the Nutrition Department and UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources are aimed at providing critical nutrition and health information to limited-resource families. Our Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program and Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program provide information to over 85,000 Californian annually. These programs are geared to helping families make healthful food choices. They have been shown to result in marked improvement in the overall diets of participants.

Another example are the numerous articles written by our faculty for the popular press in English, Spanish and other languages common in our State, ensuring that Californians are well-served.
