The Nutrition Program provides consultation and technical assistance, monitors nutrition data, plans and evaluates nutrition programs, coordinates nutrition related activities, and acts as a clearing house for nutrition information and training.

There are 17 nutritionists working through local public health units on activities like partnering through the Healthy Weight Council, participating in Healthy North Dakota (specifically the Breastfeeding Committee, Healthy School Nutrition Committee and the Fruit and Vegetable Committees) and working on issues directed toward healthy weight for children and adolescents, through the promotion of increased fruit and vegetable intakes (5 A Day) and increased physical activity and community programs like the
5 + 5 Communities Program.
