Towards More Sustainable Food Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable food systems that holistically integrate environmental, economic, and social aspects are a key challenge for all future development. How can the value chain of food production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste management become more sustainable? This Special Issue will identify promising pathways and discuss challenges that most urgently need to be addressed. Topics of interest include:

• Nutritional and health aspects;
• Interactions between natural environment and food supply, especially considering the impacts of food systems on ecosystem health;
• Impact of environmental change on food security and on the characteristics of food supply chains;
• The food–water–energy nexus;
• Food and livelihoods, with a focus on the risks derived from globalisation, economic crisis, disasters, and climate chan;
• Soil health.
