The Nutrient Rich Foods Coalition

The Nutrient Rich Foods Coalition is a partnership that brings together leading scientific researchers, health professionals, communications experts, and agricultural commodity organizations. Our members are composed of 21 agricultural commodity organizations that represent the five basic food groups.

The Nutrient Rich Foods Coalition is dedicated to helping educate people on how to get more nutrients from their diets by choosing nutrient-rich foods first. Additionally, we support research to develop science-based and consumer-tested educational materials for use by health professionals in speaking with their patients, clients and peers about how to identify and enjoy nutrient-rich foods as the foundation of a balanced, lifelong eating plan. The educational materials are available in the “For Health Professionals” section of this Web site.

The Nutrient Rich Foods Coalition supports and is dedicated to helping disseminate the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations, which include the importance of getting the most nutrients from your calories, and encourages widespread research and educational efforts that help people achieve better health by choosing nutrient-rich foods first.
