Indonesia, as a major population in the Asia Pacific region, threatened with food and health insecurity through climate change and rapid economic development, faces the challenge to build capacity among its science-based food and health professionals and institutions. The nutrition research agenda is now being more actively set within the region, rather than by external imposition. A series of papers emanating from a new generation of public health and clinical nutrition scientists is reported in this issue of APJCN. It draws attention to the importance of food patterns and background culture as contributors to the failure of the nutrient rather than a food, food system and socio-ecological approach to solve the region's intransigent nutritionally-related health problems. New understandings of human eco-social biology are providing opportunities to accelerate the resolution of these problems. The challenge is to transform the food-health construct from one which is not sufficiently concerned about the precarious state of ecologically dysfunctional health and its nutrient market drivers to one which strives for more sustainable and affordable solutions. The present reports address a range of options to these ends.
印度尼西亚作为亚太地区的主要人口大国，因气候变化和快速的经济发展面临粮食和健康不安全的威胁，面临着提升其以科学为基础的食品和健康专业人员及机构能力的挑战。营养研究议程目前正在该地区更积极地设定，而非由外部强加。本期《亚太临床营养杂志》报道了一系列来自新一代公共卫生和临床营养科学家的论文。它提请人们注意食物模式和背景文化的重要性，这些因素导致了营养素而非食物、食物系统和社会生态方法在解决该地区顽固的营养相关健康问题上的失败。对人类生态社会生物学的新认识为加速解决这些问题提供了机会。挑战在于将食品 - 健康结构从不充分关注生态功能失调的健康及其营养市场驱动因素的不稳定状态，转变为追求更可持续和负担得起的解决方案的结构。本报告阐述了实现这些目标的一系列选择。
