Zero Hunger: Health, Production, Economics and Sustainability

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

A severe problem for humanity is the extreme poverty of a significant part of the planet. Malnutrition and hunger are the cause of severe diseases, epidemics and death in the world’s poorest regions. Increasing economic development and productivity are key to achieving the goal of zero hunger. Undoubtedly, this is a complex problem that requires union and joint work from mixed disciplines in order to be rectified. The use of crop and livestock techniques that increase productivity and production in developing countries requires genetic research on seeds and animals. Moreover, it is necessary to develop a sustainable form of agriculture that respects ecosystems and adapts to climate change. All this requires international cooperation to provide the necessary investments in infrastructure and technology while adopting the necessary measures to avoid market distortion in terms of volume and prices.

This Topic aims to bring together research aimed at eradicating hunger in the world from a multifaceted point of view. We welcome contributions covering a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to, food safety, health aspects, sustainable crops, commercial practices, legal regulations, trade, business practices, investment, etc. We invite scholars and researchers to submit their original research, empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and case studies that illuminate the myriad dimensions of the fight against hunger.
