In this paper, the present situation of the food production, resource structure, food consumption structure and food nutrition structure of the Jiangnan province, which is located in the Middle–Lower Reach of the Yangtze in China, is analysed systematically; and a data store system about nutrition ingredients of 125 kinds of food common in this region is built. From these, we set up a food nutrition objective system, and a corresponding multiple-objective programming mathematical model about food nutrition structure optimization. Then, we obtain a series of optimal models of food nutrition structure which are suitable for this region for different seasons, different groups of people and different expenditure capacity, and also, we propose some strategies to adjust food nutrition structure.
