The Global Food Security Journal is calling for papers on sustainable diets and food systems to help further the discussions and debate. Manuscript submissions could include sub-topics that cut across multiple spatial and time scales from global to local, that involve multiple demographic populations living in different environments (i.e. urban or rural), and that highlight multiple entry points across food systems (i.e. the middle of the value chain). Issues of equity, gender, economics, and behavioral economics, which the Commission report did not cover, will be considered.
Manuscript ideas or abstracts can be submitted to Editor-in-Chief, Jess Fanzo at jfanzo1@jhu.edu. Manuscripts should be a maximum of 4,000 words and should be framed as state-of-the-art reviews, perspectives opinions and debates that synthesize, extend or critique the potential of the achieving sustainable diets and food systems.
