Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed our way of life, including the way we interact with food. As we adapt to the new normal of the pandemic, the food industry is also undergoing profound structural transformation. For example, food security concerns such as fluctuations in the price of food, changes in the patterns of household and restaurant food waste, health risks introduced by take-out orders, etc., have arisen. Food security researchers have collected various data in order to investigate issues concerning food security. As a result, we feel that it is the right time to organize a Special Issue addressing food security and the structural transformation of the food industry. We are looking for papers that investigate issues regarding food security related to the impact of the pandemic, offer critical reflections and provide a forward-looking discussion on future expectations in the realm of food security.
