食物消费在经济和个人健康中起着关键作用。食物和膳食，除了维持生命外，在社会中也有许多功能，例如人际关系。本研究的目的是提出一种定性的研究方法，以显示食物消费在几个民族的文化中的作用，并介绍文化因素影响饮食习惯和当地食物供应条件的方式。在研究的第一部分，样本是多个国籍的混合。在我们的调查中，主要的问题是：你怎么看待文化和价值观的食物消费？你吃什么食物最多？你发现不同民族的习惯有什么不同，特别是在饮食习惯方面？在第二部分中，我们询问了当地供应系统的主要参与者（餐馆，自助餐，商店）关于他们跟踪外国学生需求的方式。我们的研究结果已经实施到两个不同的SWOT矩阵。我们可以得出这样的结论，对食品消费态度和社区行为的研究是必要的。大多数受访学生都有兴趣将自己的饮食和文化传统与其他国家的饮食和文化传统进行比较，并且更喜欢当地的食物。该研究证明，匈牙利的饮食习惯对国际学生的饮食习惯有影响，他们从几个方面改变了他们。该研究发现，饮食选择是一个复杂的决定，具有重大的环境和社会影响，但我们需要补充的是，由于强大的文化背景，学生可以保持他们的可持续饮食和社区价值观国外，这也可以强烈影响当地食品供应实践的发展。
Food consumption plays a pivotal role in the economy and the health of individuals. Foods and meals, in addition to sustaining life, also have many functions in society, such as human bonding. The purpose of our study is to present a qualitative research method to show the role of food consumption in the culture of several ethnic groups, and to introduce the ways in which cultural factors influence eating habits and local food supply conditions. In the first part of the research, the sample was a mix of multiple nationalities. During our investigations, the main questions were: What do you think about the culture and value food consumption? What kind of food do you consume the most? What differences do you find in the habits of different ethnic groups, especially regarding their eating habits? In the second part, we asked the main actors of the local supply system (restaurants, buffets, shops) about the ways they track the demand of foreign students. Our results have been implemented into two different SWOT matrixes. We can conclude that such research on food consumption attitudes and community behavior is essential. Most of the interviewed students are interested in comparing their diet and cultural traditions to those of other nations', and prefer local foods. The study proved that eating habits in Hungary have an impact on the eating habits of international students, and they changed them from several perspectives. The study found that dietary choices are complex decisions that have a significant environmental and social impact, but we need to add that thanks to the strong cultural background, the students can keep their sustainable eating and community values abroad, which can also strongly influence the development of the local food supply practices.
