COMMENTS:
This gopher, part of the National Agriculture Library of the USDA, presents information on current nutrition topics. According to information on the gopher, nutritionists at the above address will respond to questions regarding nutrition with printouts from the AGRICOLA database (if necessary). No actual databases or software packages are available through the Internet, unfortunately, though files here provide details on what they contain. In addition, some menu options are currently blank, leading us to believe that the gopher is still under construction.

COMMENTS:
Various reports, documents, articles, and speeches (historical and current) about hunger and its impact on the world's peoples. Also provided are extensive definitions of various hunger terms, some with bibliographies. Some hunger statistics and a special report on Rwanda are provided. Although the WWW site seems to work fine, the Gopher occasionally refuses connections.
