dc.description.abstract	Delivery of healthcare is a pressing social, economic, technical and political challenge, 75% of health care expenditure in the US are for diet-related chronic diseases, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, etc. Emphasis has been on therapeutic and surgical treatments after disease development instead of prevention through food and diet. We need a structure that integrates food and agricultural research as a full partner in the national health-research mission.
