Digital Food Literacy, Tailored Nutrition Education and Food Environment

Dear Colleagues,

Food literacy is achieving growing popularity as a determinant of wise food-related choices. In particular, food literacy could be understood as the individual ability to access, understand, process, and use basic food and nutrition information and to navigate the food system properly. Social media, online ordering, and the use of online resources present strengths of speed, accessibility, and interaction in the communication of food risks and benefits and potentially act as a policy measure to improve food literacy, healthy eating, and wellbeing. In light of the negative health and social consequences attached to limited food literacy, the enhancement of the individual ability to navigate the food system is crucial to improve individual and collective wellbeing. This Special Issue will highlight recent innovative research in this area, with implications for best practices and recommendations for future work.
