The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) was created in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is the focal point within USDA where scientific research is linked with the nutritional needs of the American public.
The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion carries out its mission by developing and coordinating nutrition policy within the USDA and assessing the cost-effectiveness of government-sponsored nutrition programs on food consumption, food expenditures, food-related behavior, and nutritional status. CNPP periodically prepares updates on the cost of family food plans and of raising children as well as investigating techniques for effective nutrition communication for Americans.
