Food and Nutrition
The APHA’s Food and Nutrition Section has a long and rich history. In 1917 the section was formed as the Food and Drug Section. In 1930 it was renamed the Food, Drugs and Nutrition Section, and in 1932 it became the Food and Nutrition Section.
The current membership is multidisciplinary and includes nutritionists, health behaviorists, physicians, food technologists, epidemiologists, health professionals, educators, and researchers interested in nutrition and policy issues. The mission of the Food and Nutrition Section is to provide leadership and to advocate for policies, practices, environmental changes and research that support healthful eating and physical activity.
