Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volume I of this Special Issue https://www.mdpi.com/journal/foods/special_issues/ZGT74MT4KJ received considerable attention and interest from scholars in relevant fields. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all those who contributed to and supported this work. As interest in this topic continues to grow and it plays an increasingly influential role in the field, we look forward to the launch of Volume II. We hope Volume II will achieve similar success and continue to make a meaningful impact on the field.
Food and dietary choices are linked with the health and well-being of individuals. Over 11 million deaths and 255 million disability-adjusted life years were attributable to dietary risk factors. Human behaviour regarding food choices is complex and influenced by many biological, physiological, social and economic factors. Understanding the individual motives behind certain food choices is fundamental to changing consumption habits, modulating healthy behaviour and becoming more sustainable. Currently, dietary concerns address over-consumption of calories, added sugars and saturated fats and the insufficient consumption of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Consumer demand for food is a key factor to be considered when formulating various agricultural and public health policies to promote healthier eating patterns.
This Special Issue, entitled “Food Choice, Nutrition, and Public Health: Volume II”, welcomes the submission of either original articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses or reviews concerning classical or innovative approaches to the issues related to food choice, food composition, nutrition and public health. The issue also welcomes research papers on food choice behaviour and the impact that these choices have on nutritional status, dietary quality, health outcomes, food literacy and food preferences.
