과거 우리나라의 영양정책은 진료 위주의 구호적, 구빈적 수준에 불과하였다. 그러나 2000년 10월부터 국민 기초생 활보장법의 시행으로 보건복지 정책이 확대되는 계기가 되 었으며 정책의 방향이 취약계층의 삶의 질 향상을 통한 계층 간 격차 해소와 질병 예방을 통한 건강증진의 방향으로 전환 되는 발판이 마련되었다(Park 2002).
현재 우리나라는 저소득층이 갖고 있는 영양적 문제를 해 결하기 위해 미국 WIC(Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children)프로그램 을 벤치마킹하여 영양플러스 사업을 실시하고 있다. 한국형
