Nutrition Unit
The Nutrition Unit’s research and teaching agenda centres on the role of nutrition in the public health agenda. Particular emphasis is placed on the nutrition transition – that is, from undernutrition to overnutrition and obesity -- occurring in most countries of the world, including Australia, and on:
- understanding the causes and nature of these changes, and
- translating this into programs and policies that are effective in this changing environment.
