      Nutrition and dietetics, a multidisciplinary field that involves acquiring and using nutrients from food sources to sustain life and growth, incorporates the science of economically producing and making foods available to a global society. Illnesses may result from inadequate or poor food choices, and certain health conditions require diet modifications to maintain or restore health.
