Summary

This article introduces the area of nutritional social work, beyond the scope of food security and food injustice, from a critical, anti-oppressive and ecofeminist lens. The goal was not to present concrete frameworks but to initiate a discussion surrounding the relevance of nutritional social work and point in a number of possible directions for incorporation of this subdiscipline into social work praxis.

Findings

Nutritional security is an instrumental component of food security, as complete nutrition requires more than just enough energy for every human being. This purposeful combining of food security with nutrition security underscores the need to consider these two issues together, requiring integrated social and health outcomes, as well as cohesive community, policy and development goals aimed at eliminating food insecurity and malnutrition. These considerations need to involve the questions of availability, accessibility (both economically and geographically), cultural practices and sustainability that form the cornerstone of food justice efforts.

Applications

The article highlights the potential contribution of nutritional social work to direct practice, community action, policy development, research and social work education, as it illuminates the pivotal role that nutritional security plays in relation to multilevel considerations of food insecurity, all the while ensuring all people, through participatory, democratizing, power-sharing and equity-creating processes, have access to nutritious foods.

营养社会工作：它是什么以及它为什么重要

概括

本文从批判、反压迫和生态女性主义的角度介绍了超出粮食安全和粮食不公正范围的营养社会工作领域。目标不是提出具体框架，而是围绕营养社会工作的相关性展开讨论，并指出将这一子学科纳入社会工作实践的一些可能方向。

发现

营养安全是粮食安全的重要组成部分，因为完整的营养不仅需要每个人足够的能量。粮食安全与营养安全的这种有目的的结合强调需要同时考虑这两个问题，需要综合的社会和健康成果，以及旨在消除粮食不安全和营养不良的有凝聚力的社区、政策和发展目标。这些考虑需要涉及构成食品正义工作基石的可用性、可及性（经济和地理上）、文化习俗和可持续性等问题。

应用

这篇文章强调了营养社会工作对直接实践、社区行动、政策制定、研究和社会工作教育的潜在贡献，因为它阐明了营养安全在粮食不安全的多层次考虑方面发挥的关键作用，同时确保所有人们通过参与性、民主化、权力分享和创造公平的过程，可以获得有营养的食物。
