FLORENCE FARMER, PhD, Professor (-March 29, 2017)

A Resolution on the death of Florence Amelia Farmer, Professor of Nutrition

The life of Florence Farmer begins on Maple Avenue in Ste Anne de Bellevue in 1919. In 1938, the young Florence entered 成人VR视频鈥檚 Macdonald Campus. Upon graduation with a BSc in Household Science, Florence enrolled in graduate studies in Nutrition. Under the supervision of Dr Crampton, the first professor of Nutrition in Canada, Florence completed her MSc in 1944 and her PhD in 1947, a year after establishment in 1946 of the first department of Nutrition in Canada. Dr Farmer often described herself as the first female to earn a PhD in the first department of nutrition in Canada. As a newly appointed Assistant Professor in the department, Dr Farmer also became the first female Professor of Nutrition in Canada.

From 1947-1959, Dr Farmer taught Nutrition and had an active research program. With Dr Crampton, she oversaw the development of the first animal research facility and created the first prototype of a metabolic cage for experimental laboratory animals. Her research focused on the use of a bioassay to measure Vitamin C content of foods and feeds and to identify the metabolic consequences of biologically active thyroproteins used at the time to increase milk production. She was also among the first to assess the nutritional content of indigenous foods and to conduct extensive research on the nutrient composition of foods for both the Army Medical Research Committee of the National Research Council and for the Department of National Health and Welfare of Canada. This work was the forerunner to current food composition tables published by both USDA and Health Canada.

In 1964, upon her return from teaching nutrition at the Women鈥檚 Christian College in Madras India, she was hired by Professor Helen Neilson, Head of the School of Household Science, to teach nutrition and food science to dietitians. During this active period as a member of the Schools of Household Science and Food Science, she established the first sensory evaluation laboratory at 成人VR视频, conducting organoleptic studies on irradiated foods.

She also continued her interest in human nutrition. At the behest of the Executive Director of the Montreal Diet Dispensary, Agnes Higgins, the research trio of Professors Farmer, Moxley and Crampton evaluated the impact of the 鈥淗iggin鈥檚 Method鈥� to reduce the incidence of low birth weight among Montrealers. These findings led to international recognition that maternal malnutrition could impact maternal health and lower infant birthweight and resulted in the establishment of the Women, Infants and Child Nutrition (WIC) Program in the US and to similar nutrition supplementation programs for pregnant and lactation women throughout the world.

Dr Farmer ended her 40 year teaching career in the mid-eighties. She will be remembered by current faculty who were her students as a dynamic, committed professor, passionate about nutrition and who always wore 鈥榖obby socks鈥�. The beloved teacher passed away at the age of 98 on March 29, 2017 in Sarnia, Ontario, and was laid to rest at the Lakeview Cemetery in Pointe Claire Quebec. She is survived by 10 nieces and nephews.
