Women are more sensible to nutritional questions, have better nutritional knowledge and a more conscious nutritional behavior than men. Also, women and men are exposed to different risks with regard to food based on different nutritional behaviors as well as different nutrient requirements.

Despite increasing nutritional awareness and quality assured information transfer, nutritional knowledge is still lacking in the general population. Furthermore, perceived food risks are somewhat contradicting actual diet-related diseases.

There are plenty of options to increase long-term food security and safety. Based on results of this participatory foresight study, implementation is possible in many areas with immediate effect.
