In the domain of human health, the impact of food, the environment and new technologies on human health, the applications of technologies and biotechnologies in relation to health and more general public health issues are the strategic themes of AgroParisTech. The Institute is developing expertise in strong, highly visible research focusing on the analysis and knowledge of nutritional needs and the nutritional status of individuals and populations and in the sciences of eating behavior.
In parallel, toxicology and dietary and environmental risks constitute a third priority axis of research. Consistent with these choices of theme, AgroParisTech is developing expertise in the application of biotechnologies to human health in its fields of nutrition and safety for health.
