\nB.Sc. (Human Nutrition) University of British Columbia<\/p>\n
Global problems in food and nutrition including the political, social and cultural factors underlying malnutrition in different contexts. Assessment of nutritional status, maternal infant and child feeding habits, nutrition knowledge, food intake and household food security as a basis for culturally appropriate nutrition intervention programs. Micronutrients and development issues. Of primary interest is the development, implementation and assessment of cost-effective, evidence based means of addressing malnutrition among young children, adolescents and reproductive-age women, and improving pregnancy outcomes.<\/p>\n
At UBC my teaching focus is on global problems in nutrition and food security; analysis of the political, social and cultural complexities of food habits and malnutrition in various cultures around the world as well as the relationships between diet and disease in both the developed and developing world. I have also prepared and presented introductory nutrition courses in Africa which are regionally specific with attention to food availability, related nutrient deficiencies, as well as the cultural and socioeconomic factors that impact on food security in each region. Our International Nutrition group is currently working to assist others countries in developing post graduate courses in nutrition as education is a vital component of the Millennium Development Goals. \u00a0We work collaboratively with international organizations and governments on applied food security and nutrition intervention projects.<\/p>\n
