About us
Researchers from USP have always wanted to create the first Brazilian research center with a multidisciplinary character focused on food and nutrition. This objective became a reality in 2011 with a funding opportunity by FAPESP. FoRC was founded in 2013.
This Center takes advantage of the fact that nutrition and health are multidisciplinary issues, and as such can undertake a unique approach with leading professionals from different areas, presenting different knowledge and expertise.
Because of such an enriching nature, the objective of FoRC is to be a network involving academia, private businesses, government, third sector and society in general, stimulating the dissemination of knowledge and transferring technology in order to perpetuate a virtuous circle of incentives.
