The China-Cornell-Oxford Project is a collaborative research initiative focused on understanding the relationship between diet, lifestyle, and health in China. Established in the 1980s, it combines expertise from Cornell University and Oxford University to study the effects of nutrition on chronic diseases, particularly in rural Chinese populations. The project is best known for its comprehensive China Study, which analyzed dietary patterns and health outcomes across various regions. Findings from the research have influenced global discussions on nutrition, emphasizing the benefits of plant-based diets and the impact of dietary choices on overall health and disease prevention.
