This presentation briefly discusses how the USDA agencies work together to meet the nutrition education needs of our diverse population. Atwater's work in nutrition was characterized by an extensive cooperative program and this legacy has continued in USDA nutrition education efforts. Our challenge is not only to provide the consumer with accurate, appropriate, and effective nutrition education, but to also ensure that our efforts are in harmony with those of other agencies within and outside of the Department. The complexity of the needs of society, the present awareness of social problems, and the scrutiny being applied to the use of public and private funds for these purposes dictates that viable interagency relationships must become the rule rather than the exception. Since the late 1970's USDA agencies have worked to expand cooperative efforts and establish mechanisms that facilitate coordination. This presentation will highlight the diversity of consumer needs for nutrition education, give examples of how the unique contributions of each USDA agency combine to meet consumer needs and discuss the major organizational structures which support interagency coordination.
本报告简要讨论了美国农业部各机构如何共同努力，以满足我们多样化人口的营养教育需求。阿特沃特在营养方面的工作以广泛的合作项目为特点，这一传统在美国农业部的营养教育工作中得以延续。我们面临的挑战不仅是为消费者提供准确、恰当且有效的营养教育，还要确保我们的工作与该部门内外其他机构的工作协调一致。社会需求的复杂性、当前对社会问题的认识以及对用于这些目的的公共和私人资金使用情况的审查表明，可行的跨部门关系必须成为常态而非例外。自20世纪70年代末以来，美国农业部各机构一直致力于扩大合作努力并建立促进协调的机制。本报告将突出营养教育消费者需求的多样性，举例说明美国农业部各机构的独特贡献如何结合起来满足消费者需求，并讨论支持跨部门协调的主要组织结构。
