UA Nutrition Network

University of Arizona Nutrition Network – UANN

About Us:  The University of Arizona, Department of Nutritional Sciences in partnership with the Arizona Nutrition Network work jointly to coordinate, administer and evaluate nutrition and physical activity initiatives throughout Arizona. Our primary objective is to create and foster an environment where youth make informed food and physical activity choices.

Nutrition education is delivered in a variety of methods using the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and  www.choosemyplate.gov as the foundation for healthy eating and physical activity. We provide training, technical assistance and other resources to key personnel working with youth. These resources are provided to support nutrition and physical activity policy and environmental change within our network sites.

Mission: UANN supports partners using a behaviorally  focused approach to comprehensive nutrition and physical education.

Vision: A community where SNAP eligible families eat well and are active where they live, learn and play.
