Costa Rica
INFORMAS in Costa Rica is coordinated by Dr. Melissa L. Jensen (School of Nutrition, University of Costa Rica -UCR) and MSc. Adriana Blanco (Institute of Research and Teaching in Nutrition and Health – INCIENSA).
In the past, we have conducted work related to the following modules: Food Composition, Food Labelling, Food Promotion, Food Prices, Food Retail and Food Provision. These efforts have been possible thanks to previous and ongoing work at INCIENSA, as well as a partnership that developed in 2015 between the School of Public Health (UCR), the School of Nutrition (UCR), the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama (INCAP) and INCIENSA.
