1. The challenge
We all desire a long and healthy life. This requires in the future basic dietary changes: a healthy diet for a growing world population can only be ensured if new scientific knowledge becomes part of the production of foods, if the lifestyle of people is oriented toward the goal of a healthy, long life and with a food system efficiently using natural resources.
2. The model
There will not be a uniform approach to healthy eating for everyone, but rather a personalized diet for different population groups. These differences may be either of a genetic or epigenetic nature, based, for example, on age or dependent on the specific life situation.
3. The responsibility of science
The Life Sciences will provide knowledge on a completely new basis with regard to the relationships of biological functions in the human body, nutrition and health.
4. The responsibility of the Food Industry
On the basis of the scientific knowledge of the life sciences, the food industry is developing products and services for a personalized diet for different populations. It provides these services to preserve resources and be socially beneficial for the greatest possible number of people.
5. The responsibility of politics
Social systems and health systems have to be changed from the treatment of existing diseases to the precautionary prevention of diseases. An open market must enable an efficient allocation of resources and comprehensive innovations.
6. The responsibility of each individual
People need to aspire to a new holistic quality in their personal lifestyle and diet and be supported by educational institutions, the media, the producers and processors of food and the food trade.
