Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food insecurity affects all communities worldwide, as many find it difficult to consistently access nutritious, affordable food. This problem is exacerbated by conflict, political insecurity, climate change, and global shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
This Special Issue seeks to develop a collection of innovative, contemporary research that considers the causes, consequences, and remedies for food insecurity at an individual, household, community, regional, or even global scale. Multiple socioeconomic factors influence food insecurity, particularly nutrition insecurity; these will be explored within the research papers, alongside the contemporary politico-environmental factors that also play a part.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions from researchers across the world who are considering how to address food insecurity and what mechanisms are of the greatest benefit in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG1: no poverty; SDG 2: zero hunger; SDG 3: good health and wellbeing; and SDG 10: reducing inequalities.
Prof. Dr. Louise Manning
