Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for more prudent eating behaviours that support human and planetary health is well documented. In recent years, these two areas of research have converged considerably. Primary food production and food manufacturing account for a major proportion of global emissions, in addition to land and water usage. With the comprehensive review predicted to take place in 2025 predicting that limited progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals has been achieved, a Special Issue exploring current research in this area is warranted.
We seek high-quality, original articles and reviews that align with this convergence of both human and environmental health challenges. The scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Observational or interventional studies evaluating behaviour change towards more environmentally sustainable and prudent dietary habits.
- Cosumer-centred studies aimed at understanding perceptions and beliefs around diet and human/plantary health.
- Studies focused on improving food systems or supply chains for human and environmental health.
- Emerging interventional evidence evaluating the outcomes aligned with human health and sustainability.
- The development of novel foods or food products targeting the benefits to human health and the reduced environmental impact of production.
Manuscripts that only focus on one aspect are unlikely to fall within the scope of this Special Issue.
Dr. Iain A. Brownlee
