Summary: The Gesunde Ernährung und Nachhaltigkeit - GERN (healthy nutrition and sustainability) project studied the relationship between health, nutrition, food production, consumption of resources and environmental pollution. This article discusses the general principles, basic methods involved and also present a synopsis summarising the results derived from all of these sub-aspects. Further articles published in this number consider important sub-aspects of this project. It can be seen that the eating habits of the population are an important key to efficient food production. The land, plant-nutrient and energy requirements for Austria's population could be reduced by one-third provided the Austrians observed the eating recommendations of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung - DGE (German nutrition society). Such savings in resources would also imply a reduction in environmental pollution.
