Nutrition and health are very closely related. Ecotrophology combines natural and economic sciences with medical issues in an interdisciplinary course. Identifying nutritional diseases, counteracting them preventively and evaluating them in terms of health economics reflect the wide range of nutritional sciences and economics.
In industrial food production, ecotrophologists are e.g. involved in product development of healthy, allergen-reduced and sustainable food. They ensure food safety in the quality management of food manufacturers, in food retailing and in communal catering or through their use in authorities, food monitoring or in consumer centers. Science journalism, social and market research, marketing and PR agencies as well as working for international organizations are also important occupations for ecotrophologists.
