Editorial Introduction to the First Issue

On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to announce the launch of the inaugural issue of the first journal dedicated to the North African countries and Mediterranean region "The North African Journal of Food and Nutrition Research (NAJFNR) ". A new open access and international peer-reviewed journal, which publishes original (not previously published) work of exceptional quality and interest and which intends to give a wide ranging coverage of research, views, and reviews on nutrition and its effects in relation to human health and disease. The NAJFNR will include all nutrition field research in humans and various disease model organisms and will be of interest to the basic researcher as well as to physician scientists and clinicians.
