Food Security and Healthy Nutrition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ensuring food security and nutrition is a crucial target of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2. Improving food security levels through various means (e.g., enhancing agricultural productivity, reducing food waste, and strengthening social protection systems) can provide safe, nutritious, and sufficient food for all people, especially the poor and vulnerable. Furthermore, dietary patterns and food systems aimed at nutrition, health, and sustainability pose new challenges to food security assurance and related areas such as the development of new crop and livestock varieties, cultivation systems, land and water resource utilization, pesticide and fertilizer inputs, and carbon emissions. Therefore, this Topic will gather studies looking at various aspects of this field to understand how to promote food security and healthy nutrition, as well as these factors’ impacts on the economy, residents' welfare, resources and the environment, sustainable development, and agricultural R&D. The Topic includes but is not limited to the following subjects:

• Food security;
• Healthy nutrition;
• Food consumption;
• Agricultural system;
• Food system;
• Nutrition transition;
• Healthy food;
• Sustainable agriculture.
