“…Moreover, the United Nations (UN) views climate change as the defining issue of our time, and the UN’s Secretary-General has called the climate crisis a “code red” for humanity [ 14 ]. An emerging area of science that is relevant to this crisis and that is receiving more attention is the intersection of CEC and food systems [ 13 ] and, as such, the impact of the reciprocal relationships among CECs, food systems, food/nutrition security, nutrition, and health ( Figure 4 ). Moreover, these relationships can be direct and indirect.…”

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 Eunice Kennedy Shriver 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.

“…Furthermore, an emerging pri-ority for PGNB is to use this ecological approach to study the intersection of climate change, food systems, diet, nutrition, and maternal and child health. 7,8 Herein we describe 2 of PGNB's most recent efforts to apply the ecological approach to high-priority public health issues.…”

“…These efforts have been built on a conceptual approach that includes an appreciation of nutrition as a biological variable, the application of that understanding to nutrition assessment, and an application of the ecological approach to address specific aspects of the domestic and global health agenda. Furthermore, an emerging priority for PGNB is to use this ecological approach to study the intersection of climate change, food systems, diet, nutrition, and maternal and child health . Herein we describe 2 of PGNB’s most recent efforts to apply the ecological approach to high-priority public health issues.…”
