International Food and Nutrition Forum

Summary: The International Food and Nutrition Forum (IFNF) provides a mechanism for representatives from the U.S. government, academia and nongovernmental organizations to discuss issues related to global food and nutrition including food security, global health, micronutrient deficiencies, and related morbidity and mortality. Members are selected for their professional perspectives and scientific credentials, and ex-officio membership is based on institutional representation. The IFNF offers an opportunity to identify areas of concordance among diverse interest groups and possible approaches to address issues that are discussed. The IFNF members will neither make recommendations nor offer specific advice. The purpose of the IFNF is to compile information, develop options, and bring interested parties together to engage in dialogue.
