Plant-based nutrition encompasses dietary patterns centered on foods derived from plants, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, with minimal or no animal products. For plant scientists, this field drives research into the nutritional composition, bioavailability, and functional properties of plant-derived compounds, informing crop improvement efforts aimed at enhancing the health benefits of cultivated species. Understanding how plants synthesize proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and phytonutrients is central to developing more nutritious and sustainable food crops.
