Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food systems contribute to 20–30% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and the implementation of strategies to reduce these emissions is essential. These strategies can be achieved through policies and actions that take place along the whole supply chain (from production to consumption) and at any scale (transnational, national, regional, organizational, or individual). This Special Issue aims to compile scientific articles that discuss different strategy frameworks within the food systems and assess the climate benefits of their implementation.
The following topics are of particular interest (note that this list is not exhaustive):
- Sustainable farming practices;
- Circular bio-based economy;
- Stakeholder engagement ;
- Life cycle assessment of food interventions;
- Low-carbon eating patterns;
- Behavioral change;
- Reducing food losses and waste;
- Food policies.
We invite you to contribute to this Issue by submitting comprehensive reviews, case studies, or research articles.
