About the SCN Nutrition Policy Papers


SCN Nutrition Policy Papers are produced to summarize current knowledge on selected topics. The series of Nutrition Policy Papers was started in 1985 and up until 1996 were called State-of-the-Art Reviews. Since 2005, the SCN Nutrition Policy Papers are published in the United Nations University's Food and Nutrition Bulletin (www.foodandnutritionbulletin.org or www.unu.edu/unupress/food/unupress.htm). Electronic copies will continue to be available for download from the SCN website.
