    Sharing the below from the Academy: 

    On Friday, the Academy sent a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins requesting a meeting following USDA's recent reorganization announcement. The Academy expressed concerns over the lack of attention to core food and nutrition services, including MyPlate.gov, FoodData Central, and the Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR), which are critical to the nation's nutrition infrastructure.

    The letter urges USDA to safeguard these resources, reaffirm nutrition as a core pillar of the Department's mission, and provide additional information on the implications of the reorganization.
