Multi-, inter- or trans-disciplinary. This is how the Food and Nutrition science has beenidentified in numerous documents disseminated in such social space. The “Document of theNutrition Area of CAPES”, for example, is very clear when it approaches this theme, by stating, inthe “interdisciplinary” topic, that:Food and Nutrition is a field of production of knowledge and scientists’ educational development wherediverse disciplines and theoretical-methodological approaches are addressed among tensions and consensus.Thus, proposals of postgraduate programs organized around topics such as “nutrients, foods and diets witha focus on the health-disease-care process” are considered to be embraced by this institutional space. Fromthe perspective of interdisciplinarity, in the area of Nutrition, programs addressing the following branches ofknowledge can be accepted: Clinical Nutrition (presence of disciplines and contents oriented to the therapeuticsof all individual´s pathologies; Basic and Experimental Nutrition (including disciplines and contentsdealing with studies with humans and animals, such as biochemistry, physiology, genetics, among others);Food Science and Technology Applied to Health (disciplines and contents within the range of chemicalcomposition and foods development); Food and Nutrition on Public Health (disciplines and contents suchas epidemiology, policies, planning and management of health, among others); and Human and SocialSciences on Food and Nutrition (disciplines and contents such as sociology, anthropology, epistemology,collective feeding, among others).
