This report identifies research and education/outreach priorities, as well as the need to integrate these efforts across agriculture, food, nutrition, and health care systems to make a positive difference on human health and chronic disease. America’s land-grant universities’ colleges of agriculture and human sciences have the capacity to advance research, education and engagement as it relates to human health. Many institutions and professionals understand how agriculture, food and nutrition can independently affect a person’s health, yet little work has been done that integrates these systems with health care to understand impacts on overall human health and incidence of chronic disease.
