Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To provide an overview of the relationship between the nutritional adequacy of food and its relationship to the food system, social determinants, precision nutrition, environmental sustainability, and ecosystem quality. METHODS: Comprehensive review of the latest literature RESULTS: Nutritional content of food can change from source to consumption as it goes through different stages where minimizing the cost is often the primary goal. Optimizing the nutritional content of food while maintaining environmental and ecosystem quality is a challenge that must be met in the coming years. CONCLUSIONS: Environmental Nutrition is an emerging interdisciplinary science interested in the nutritional adequacy of food and the well-being of the ecosystem and environment. Application of precision nutrition and precision agriculture through developing technologies and behaving more responsibly toward the environment can achieve environmental nutrition goals.
