Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Malnutrition in all its forms—undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overweight/obesity—remains a major global health challenge, exacerbated by socioeconomic inequalities, conflict, climate change, and shifting food systems. This Special Issue, “Tackling Malnutrition: What's on the Agenda?”, invites the submission of research and critical perspectives that explore innovative strategies, policies, and interventions addressing malnutrition at the local, national, and global levels.
We aim to highlight multisectoral approaches, the role of governance and policy frameworks, and emerging challenges such as the double and triple burden of malnutrition. Contributions to this issue may include original research, systematic reviews, case studies, and policy analyses that examine efforts to improve nutrition outcomes across different settings and populations.
By collecting and publishing varying insights, this issue seeks to advance understanding, inform action, and stimulate dialogue on the priorities and future directions for tackling malnutrition worldwide.
Dr. Blessing J. Akombi-Inyang
