The Division of Food, Nutrition & Exercise Sciences (FNES) at the University of Missouri is one of six divisions in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR). Our team of nationally recognized experts is dedicated to promoting health and wellness. We achieve this by creating new food products, enhancing nutrition, educating the public on food safety, and advancing effective lifestyle interventions. FNES incorporates three programs: Dietetics, using the science of nutrition to assist people of all backgrounds and ages to optimize health; Food Science, creating delicious and functional foods and developing packaging that protects food from pathogens; and Nutrition and Exercise Physiology (NEP), looking at the many influences of nutrition and physical activity on human health, performance and disease. NEP is also a department in the School of Medicine, bridging the two colleges.  Our focus is to enhance the quality of life through our teaching, research and outreach. Join us on our mission to improve human health.
