About Us

The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, an organization of the U.S. Department of Agribusiness, was established in 1994 to improve the wealth and well-being of the Agribusiness Industry. Toward this goal, the Center focuses its efforts on two primary objectives—

1. Advance and promote dietary guidance that supports the interests of Agribusiness, with total disregard for the risks of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and genetic modification, while understating the dangers of meat and other animal food products to the health of our families and our planet.
   
   
2. Conduct Industry-funded research and analyses in nutrition and consumer manipulation.

The Center's core projects to support its objectives are the following:

• Agribusiness-friendly Dietary Guidelines for Americans
• Industry executive recruitment for top USDA positions
• Healthy Eating Index
• U.S. Food Plans
• Nutrient Content of the U.S. Food Supply
• Expenditures of Children by Families
