Economics Perspectives on Sustainable Food Security—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

We need sustainable solutions for the issues facing global food security without compromising the environment, food safety, and wellbeing of the population to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) including the eradication of hunger and poverty and mitigation of climate change as well as increased access to clean water, sustainable land use, responsible production and consumption, and sustainable life on land and water.

Sustainable food security requires the following: (a) availability of food or sufficient food production; (b) access to food and ability to purchase food; (c) sufficiency in terms of nutrition including energy, proteins and micronutrients as well as safety; and (d) the stability and foreseeability of these conditions. The tools and strategies used to achieve sustainability in food security must align with environment protection, food safety, and public health and wellbeing of the population.

This Special Issue explores and discusses the pathways and challenges of achieving sustainable food security and the trade-offs between sustainability, food security and wellbeing by utilising economic frameworks while being receptive to interdisciplinary approaches.
