Fakultas Ekologi Manusia Institut Pertanian Bogor menauingi tiga departemen, yaitu Gizi Masyarakat, Ilmu Keluarga dan Konsumen, dan Sains Komunikasi dan Pengembangan Masyarakat. Departemen Gizi Masyarakat berfokus pada urusan pangan dan gizi masyarakat.

VISI

Departemen Gizi masyarakat merupakan home base Program Sarjana, sehingga visi program sarjana merupakan bagian integral dari visi Departemen Gizi Masyarakat, yaitu untuk menjadi lembaga pendidikan tinggi terkemuka di bidang gizi masyarakat. Karena departemen merupakan salah satu pengampu visi fakultas dalam pengembangan ipteks yang berkaitan dengan ilmu gizi, maka visi Program Sarjana tersebut sudah sesuai dengan visi Fakultas Ekologi Manusia yang juga sudah barang tentu sesuai dengan visi Institut Pertanian Bogor.

MISI

Untuk mewujudkan visi tersebut diatas, maka Program Sarjana memiliki misi-misi sebagai berikut :

1. Menyelenggarakan pendidikan tinggi berkualitas di bidang gizi.2. Mengembangkan IPTEKS melalui penelitian mutakhir di bidang gizi.3. Menerapkan dan mendayagunakan IPTEKS gizi untuk mencapai kualitas

kehidupan yang sehat, cerdas, produktif dan berkelanjutan.

Gizi masyarakat mempelajari metabolisme tubuh, menentukan kebutuhan gizi pada orang sakit dan sehat, serta menganalisis kandungan gizi dalam bahan pangan. Gizi masyarakat dibagi menjadi empat bagian,yaitu gizi dasar, gizi terapan, manajemen makanan dan kesehatan lingkungan dan kebijakan pangan dan gizi.

To help you get started, I’ve picked out the 5 most important pieces of the time management concept and outlined them here for you:

1. Eliminate the UnnecessaryThis becomes more and more true every day. Either professionally or personally, eliminating the “unnecessary” in life goes a long way in making you more productive. What do I consider unnecessary? Well, strictly speaking, anything that prevents you from reaching your particular goal. If your goal is to clean out your email inbox, then don’t spend 45 minutes on Facebook. If you have a deadline to make at work, don’t spend 25 minutes per day fielding unnecessary phone calls. Put simply, you need to draw a firm, distinct line between the “necessary” and “unnecessary” in your life. The stricter you define these terms, the more you’ll find that a lot of things are truly unnecessary in your life.

2. Plan Your WorkIf you go into work every day having no idea what you want to accomplish, then guess what? You’ll probably accomplish nothing. Set aside ten to fifteen minutes before work and either write down or mentally plan what you want to accomplish. Personally, I plan my work each morning as I am driving in to work. These several minutes that I spend planning contribute more towards me being productive and effective than anything else that I do. After you decide what you want to accomplish, then execute the plan.

3. MultitaskingMultitasking skills are a talent that not all of us possess. Realizing whether you are the type of person that can do it or not is important. If you’re able to multitask, great. If you’re not, then don’t bother trying. Many people make themselves less effective by trying to multitask when they simply can’t do it. This leads to multiple projects being started and none of them being finished, sloppy work, and discouragement.

4. Know When To MultitaskSo, for us multitaskers, does that mean that we should just multitask our way through every single minute of every day, constantly having four or five things going at once? Absolutely not. You also have to know when not to multitask. For example, every day at work for me, there are four to five mundane little checklist-type things that have to be completed. They are boring and mundane. So guess what? I try to accomplish as many of them as I can at once and as fast as I can. But when my boss gives me a special project that he needs done in a timely fashion and of the highest quality, the time that I devote to that is usually uninterrupted and I usually concentrate on nothing else other than that project. Know when to multitask and when not to.

5. Reduce InterruptionsAnd finally, reduce the number of interruptions in your life. Realistically, you can’t reduce the number of things that are going to interrupt you, but you can alter the fashion in which you deal with them. If I am working on something important and one of my employees comes to me with something that I know can be dealt with at a later time, guess what? That’s exactly what I do. “Sure, we can get to that, but let me finish what I am doing right now and then we’ll take care of it.” You see? Respectfully, I put them off to complete what I was doing at the moment. On the other hand, if my boss calls me when I’m in the middle of something, well, that’s an interruption that is worth making a priority.

Final WordWhether you are a salaried employee, self-employed, or a big-shot manager, more time will allow you to focus on the most important tasks. Being prepared, organized, and disciplined will give you the time necessary to become more productive, which will ultimately lead to more money.
