Abstract
Nutrition plays an important role in the etiology of many health problems in developing as well as development communities - in maintaining health as well as in the treatment of diseases. The promotion of food supply and proper nutrition are amongst the basic activities in primary health care programmes, and it also involves agriculture, animal husbandry, food industry and the community itself. Health workers need a good knowledge of applied nutrition for the management of the health problems of the individual patient and of the community.
