Ökotrophologie

Ecotrophology is a science that deals with the physiological, psychological, sociological and economic aspects of nutrition in the narrower sense and consumption in the broader sense of people in private and in public space. As an interdisciplinary course of study, ecotrophology is concerned not only with social science approaches, but also with the scientific foundations of nutrition. Both the composition of food and its analysis, the analysis and evaluation of biochemical processes in the human organism and the understanding of consumer behavior in a social and economic context play a role.

Описание программы обучения "Nutritional Sciences and Home Economics"

One focus of ecotrophology is on nutritional and health behavior. Students acquire theoretical and methodological skills to better understand human behavior and its influencing factors. The focus here is on the design, implementation and evaluation of prevention and intervention strategies using suitable means of communication.

Another focus is the topic "Sustainability and Consumption". Long-term social megatrends to be observed, such as advancing globalization, digitization, demographic change or climate change, make the topic of sustainability more important than ever. Consumers can make a contribution to this, but also a large number of actors in food politics and industry influence the general conditions. The interaction and communication of the actors needs to be better understood in order to promote the change to more sustainable lifestyles.
