Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest global direction of development in the field of population nutrition can be characterised by a few key words, and three of these are: Systemic (recognising complexity, dynamics and feedback loops; applying methods and tools from systems science; and moving towards inter-sectoral, systemic solutions), synergistic (recognising that poor nutrition, over or under, closely interact with other global challenges, so that the development and implementation of scalable, sustainable and cost effective solutions is increasingly aiming for synergistic effects), and ‘regulatory’ (a shift from soft/educational/individual-focused interventions to hard/legislative/systems actions).
This Special Issue welcomes studies or projects reporting the development/design, implementation/delivery or evaluation (or monitoring) of systemic, synergistic or regulatory actions for improving population nutrition and/or other related global challenges.
Submissions may explore these issues from a population health, social justice, health economy or other perspectives.
Submissions from any countries are welcome, and we particularly welcome submissions of work that involved collaboration between academic and non-academic authors.
Dr. Bai Li
