Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

People need reliable access to sufficient, nutritious and affordable food to maintain their health and well-being. However, natural and socio-economic disruptions can jeopardize the security of food systems, making populations less resilient.

In this cross-journal Collection, we invite contributions that use holistic approaches to understand the distribution and economics of food systems and provide solutions to build resilience and make food systems more sustainable and equitable.

This Collection supports and amplifies research directly related to: SDG 2 - Zero Hunger and SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being
