September-October 2000

Cover: As California's population grows and changes, scientists are improving their understanding of how to optimize nutrition for better health and well-being. Providing healthful and safe food for the state, nation and world will require skillful monitoring of an increasingly global food supply, with its massive distribution, processing and storage systems. At farmers' markets, such as this one in Arcata, consumers still obtain some of their food from local growers. In the 21st century, will we be able to provide safe, healthy food for all?
