Our Work
Global evidence synthesis collaboration for improved human health
At the Texas A&M Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Evidence Center, some of the world’s preeminent nutrition scientists collaborate on evidence syntheses and pivotal projects. We partner with premier organizations and institutes from around the globe to identify opportunities to improve human health by synthesizing the evidence to inform evidence-based policies.
