Food, Nutrition & Health

Food, glorious food. For some it’s a sensory pleasure, for others just a fact of life, but for all of us eating has an important impact on our health and wellbeing. The University of Maryland Cooperative Extension has educational programs, applied research projects, and lots of information on food-related subjects ranging from food safety and nutrition breakthroughs to healthy eating on a limited budget.
