SCN NEWS

A periodic review of developments in international nutrition compiled from information available to the ACC/SCN

SCN News is issued twice yearly by the Secretariat of the UN ACC Sub-Committee on Nutrition. Contributions for future issues would be welcome which should be sent to the Secretary. A description of the ACC/SCN is given on the back cover.

Your help would be appreciated in launching the SCN News. We would appreciate your views on content of future issues, and items on sections you feel are particularly useful. We would welcome letters to the Editor for possible publication in future issues. This issue is being distributed with UNU Food & Nutrition Bulletin, and through other channels. If you do not receive UNU Food & Nutrition Bulletin, would like additional copies of SCN News, or would like to suggest other names to be added, please write to the Secretary, ACC/SCN.
