The interrelation of the soil, the atmosphere, the plant, and the animal is a cycle in which the same materials are used over and over again. Minerals, moisture, and certain constituents of the atmosphere, under proper conditions of light and temperature, enter the plants, and by them compounds of potential energy are made, and the excess over their own utilization is stored. When such products are eaten by human beings and animals, these compounds are broken down and reworked; energy becomes available for growth and movement, and parts of the compounds are again released into the air in the form of carbon dioxide and moisture or are returned to the soil. Such compounds may then be taken up again by plants and rebuilt into new plant bodies.
Thus there is an obvious interrelationship—the animals being dependent on plants, the plants on soil, and the soil on parent rock and the materials that are returned to it through the decay of plants and animal products. Thus a great cycle, or wheel of life, is established, constructive processes balancing the destructive, the whole [thing] a cycle of energy exchange that in modifying animal and human development also modifies the whole complex of thought, emotion, happiness, sorrow, and the other factors affecting life.
In our scientific procedure so far, we have more or less neglected the interrelationship between soil, plants, animals, and man, though in nature this is a fact, a reality. We have been prone to consider the problems of each separately rather than to study them as a whole.
Fairly early in the development of modern science, specialization became necessary, and today we have reached the point where the whole of science is rather minutely departmentalized. Each department has its own language and traditions and pursues its own objectives. By this method we have accumulated a vast amount of information, for instance, regarding the classification, chemical and physical properties, and management of soils, and regarding the growth and reproduction of plants and animals. Chemistry, physiology, anatomy, pathology, physics, genetics, bacteriology, and other sciences have all contributed to the knowledge concerning these subjects, but each in its separate department.

Answer:
Human nutrition deals with the provision of essential nutrients in food that are necessary to support human life and good health.
Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements and compounds necessary for plant growth, plant metabolism and their external supply. In its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle, or that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite
