NOTE

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOD AND NUTRITION AND OTHER

SUBJECTS

Food and nutrition is not an independent subject rather it is an area of

study that cut across many other disciplines and also has a vital role to play

in the continual existence of the human race.

 

The food consumed by man can be majorly derived from plants and

animals, on the other hand, animals depend solely on their food. Therefore

for food to be abundant for human consumption, both plants and animals

must be catered for. This means agriculture which encompasses both

crops and animals must be taken seriously and practiced widely.

 

Food and nutrition cannot be divorced from agriculture. Their relationship is

so strong that both comes under one world organization: FAO-Food and

Agriculture Organization

 

The Food and Agriculture Organization has its headquarters in Rome.
