title: [The university and change].
abstract: The training of the nutritionist, adjusted to a new professional profile compatible with the requirements of the current grave situation in the Third World, is addressed from the ideal perspective of a university whose prime aim is self-sustained socioeconomic development. The author suggests the need to train human resources for the production process who are also agents of change, with a view to building an increasingly humane society; to adjust curricula to meet current needs in the food and nutrition field; to make the university not just a transmitter of knowledge, but an agent of change by, among other ways, drawing on the creative energy unleashed by the conflicts that underlie all social processes.
