Changes in our climate and physical environments are having profound effects on all aspects of human existence, and the ability to develop sustainable and resilient food systems is critical not just to the environment but to all aspects of human health. The Pediatric Growth and Nutrition Branch (PGNB) of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the US National Institutes of Health has adopted a new paradigm to undergird the study of nutrition that recognizes the complex and reciprocal nature of the relationships between nutrition and health outcomes. This conceptual framework, termed the "nutritional ecology," views humans as complex biological systems interacting with both their internal and external environments. Herein, we focus on: (i) the reciprocal relationship between climate and environmental changes and food systems and their impact on food/nutrition security and health; and (ii) how PGNB is utilizing the "nutritional ecology" framework to support science addressing the interactions among health, nutrition, food systems, climate, and the environment.
气候变化和自然环境的变化正在对人类生存的各个方面产生深远的影响，而发展可持续和有弹性的粮食系统的能力不仅对环境至关重要，对人类健康的各个方面也至关重要。美国国立卫生研究院儿童健康与人类发展国家研究所的儿科生长与营养处（PGNB）采取了一种新的范例来支持营养研究，该范例承认营养与健康结果之间关系的复杂性和相互性。这个概念框架被称为“营养生态学”，它将人类视为与内部和外部环境相互作用的复杂生物系统。在此，我们重点关注：（i）气候和环境变化与食物系统之间的相互关系及其对食物/营养安全和健康的影响；以及（ii）PGNB 如何利用“营养生态学”框架来支持解决健康、营养、食物系统、气候和环境之间相互作用的科学。
