Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 21st century, the importance of reliable, up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge in the general public cannot be overestimated.
Raising public awareness of the relationship between food, nutrition, and health is crucial for the prevention of chronic, noncommunicable diseases (e.g., obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases).
In order to understand the importance of food and nutrition for humans, and to make informed, nutritionally beneficial choices, it is essential to be aware of dietary constituents and their significance for our health and well-being, as well as how to combine food products properly—in terms of quality and quantity—to maintain a balanced diet.
We invite submissions of the following types:
- Original research articles.
- Meta-analyses.
- Reviews.
Topics that could be addressed in this Special Issue include the following:
- Diet-related chronic disease prevention in the 21st century.
- Current challenges in nutrition education.
- The potential of nutrition education to empower consumers with the knowledge and skills to make informed dietary choices; nutrition education programs and policies supporting consumer awareness.
- The link between nutrition education and nutritional behaviors throughout life.
- Factors contributing to consumer food choices.
- Factors related to dietary catering choices, involving the awareness, behaviours, and health outcomes of consumers.
- The knowledge of consumers and their attitudes towards functional food, smart food, novel food, ecological food, etc.
- Innovative technologies and modern communication channels involved in public health strategies.
- Artificial intelligence and nutrition.
Other interdisciplinary topics within this Special Issue topic are also welcome.
