Centre for Indigenous People鈥檚 Nutrition and Environment (CINE)
CINE was created in response to a need expressed by Aboriginal Peoples for participatory research and education to address their concerns about the integrity of their traditional food systems. Deterioration in the environment has adverse impacts on the health and lifestyles of Indigenous Peoples, in particular, nutrition as affected by food and food traditions.

Margaret A.听Gilliam Institute for Global Food Security
Childhood underweight is the leading risk factor for burden of disease and is responsible for over 2 million children dying per year, mainly in low-income countries. The goal of the Institute, part of the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, is to become a magnet that attracts researchers, professionals, and students from all over the world, who are interested and passionate about working (and fighting) for a world free of hunger. The goal is for collaboration among colleagues in a wide range of disciplines, to launch novel ideas and initiatives. At 91社区 the Global Food Security Institute counts on colleagues with a wide range of expertise, which allows them to work on fostering interdisciplinary research on food security at a local, national and international level. As part of its vision, the Institute is also supportive of initiatives and programs that allow students at the graduate and at the undergraduate level to get trained in all food security aspects. The Institute鈥檚 collaboration with governmental and non-governmental agencies throughout the world aims to assist policy makers and practitioners with the knowledge gained by colleagues and students in academia.
