The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced the availability $4.5 million to establish three new USDA Nutrition Hubs in communities across the country. USDA Nutrition Hubs aim to equitably advance food and nutrition security and help prevent diet-related chronic diseases in historically underserved communities. The hubs will create a network that builds on the work of the pilot Nutrition Hub established last year in partnership with Southern University and A&M College under USDA’s Agricultural Science Center of Excellence for Nutrition and Diet for Better Health initiative. Each hub will use “precision nutrition” principles to target the nutrition needs of each community. Applications for the competitive award program are open through Oct. 3.
