Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food security and the ability of communities to access a sufficient quantity, quality, and variety of culturally appropriate food is more important than ever. Changes to global food chains, to eating patterns, and to nutrition requirements are putting pressure on communities and require new and creative public health responses to food insecurity. We are excited to edit this Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, specifically looking at Global Food Security and Public Health. This Special Issue will focus on research that seeks to address food insecurity all over the world and in a variety of population groups, with a special focus on public health responses, initiatives, and interventions that seek to address food insecurity
