The Food, Nutrition,
and Consumer Services ensures access to nutritious, healthful diets
for
all Americans. Through food assistance and nutrition education for consumers, FNCS encourages consumers to make healthful food
choices. Today, rather than simply providing food, FNCS works to empower
consumers with knowledge of the link between diet and health,
providing dietary guidance based on research.

The Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) increases
food security and reduces hunger in partnership with cooperating organizations by
providing children and low-income people access to food,
a healthful
diet, and nutrition education in a manner that supports American
agriculture and inspires public confidence.

The Center for
Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) was created in the U.S.Department of
Agriculture, December 1, 1994, and is the focal point within USDA where scientific
research is linked with the nutritional needs of the public.
