Consumption patterns of today’s man living in developed countries cause not only one of global problems. Part of it food consumption is one of three essential needs to live. Overconsumption is general phenomena and it causes serious health problems (serious deceases) but not only in those countries. In many of third world countries malnutrition and inadequate nutrition are common for hundred millions. UN dealing with global problems set up Sustainable Development (SD) Goals (SDGs) that have put in practice from 2016. There are crucial questions as which are criteria of sustainability. What is connection between healthy and that kind of food consumption that fit sustainable development. To know the present state, Hungary food consumption is outlined. Interested question is what changes are and expected in the future taking into account ageing, climate change, migration. Key point is in the future how man can solve humanity’s food supply and nutrition problems. Approach and methods of geography can help in some problems that need to be researched and answered. Sciences, so geography can give support for possible solution, can outline future spatial pattern.
