Food Nutrition and Health
There are many important food and nutrition-related activities being carried out, across a wide range of disciplines at the University of Southampton, that are central to the theme of population health. This Special Interest Group draws together researchers who have common interests in this work - providing opportunity to promote dialogue and communication both within and outside the University.
The aims of this group are to
- enhance opportunities for strengthening collaborative, interdisciplinary research across the University to address issues of food, nutrition & health
- strengthen the policy relevance and global impact of work being undertaken at the University, to address major global challenges for food and nutrition
The determinants of nutritional status operate at global, national, community, household and individual levels.
