The New Nutrition Science Project proposes a multidimensional approach to nutrition that incorporates biological, social, and environmental factors. This framework, expressed in the Giessen Declaration, emphasizes nutrition’s role in addressing complex 21st-century issues such as malnutrition, obesity, and ecological sustainability. By advocating for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary perspective, the project aims to redefine nutrition science to enhance its relevance in global health and policy.
