One of humanity's greatest concerns at the moment is the negative impact produced by environmental change, since its effects have impacts throughout the planet, with different consequences, called by Bruno Latour a “New Climate Regime". The deterioration of the natural environment has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in people’s health problems. We find ourselves in a phase of paradigm crisis in Nutrition Science, in which change becomes increasingly necessary and urgent; the path that has been pointed out is the expansion of existing notions towards a systemic and holistic vision to face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. This theoretical reflective essay is based on the work by Bruno Latour and aims to identify the intersections of Nutrition Science and the professional exercise of the nutritionist with the idea of reorientation to the vector that Latour calls “Terrestrial”, as new actor-politician in the Anthropocene period. It is necessary to extend the mandate of evidence-based practice to adopt more relational models of critical thinking for transformational learning in nutrition, providing a collaborative opportunity for all nutrition professionals to support people to combine a healthy diet with sustainable eating. The redirection of Nutrition Science is in line with Latour's recent ideas regarding a possible change from the production system to the generation system in sync with sustainability
