Understanding how ecosystems function from the perspective of nutritional interactions between individual organisms will contribute to an environmentally sustainable Australia, with particular benefits to rural communities in arid/semi-arid regions. Research on human and animal nutrition, obesity and ageing will provide essential knowledge for promoting and maintaining good health and designing novel treatments for metabolic disorders. New ways of controlling locusts and other pest insects will arise and contribute to safeguarding Australia. New diet optimisation technologies will help transform Australian food production industries. The project will foster creative, innovative science that spans molecular biology to ecosystem dynamics.

从个体生物之间营养相互作用的角度了解生态系统的功能将有助于澳大利亚的环境可持续发展，特别是对干旱/半干旱地区的农村社区有益。对人类和动物营养、肥胖和老龄化的研究将为促进和保持良好的健康和设计代谢紊乱的新疗法提供必要的知识。控制蝗虫和其他害虫的新方法将出现，并有助于保护澳大利亚。新的饮食优化技术将有助于改变澳大利亚食品生产行业。该项目将促进创造性，创新性的科学，从分子生物学到生态系统动力学。
