主题范围

Humanity faces the grand challenge of feeding a growing and more affluent population in a sustainable and healthy manner. This problem is made more complex by an increasingly globalized food system and its interactions with a changing climate. Agri-food system actors – including policy makers, corporations, farmers, and consumers – must meet this challenge while considering potentially conflicting priorities, such as environmental sustainability (e.g., minimizing disturbance to ecosystems via greenhouse gas emissions and the use of water, land, fertilizers and other inputs), economic viability (e.g., revenues for food producers and guaranteed access for consumers), nutritional balance and quality (e.g., addressing overconsumption, undernourishment, and micronutrient deficiencies), and resilience to climate change. Understanding this growing complexity—which can involve global supply chains and difficult environmental and societal tradeoffs—will be essential for achieving sustainable and resilient agri-food systems.

In this focus collection, we welcome research from all aspects of sustainable food systems including natural resource use, rural livelihoods, human health and nutrition, trade, and climate change. This scope includes studies that quantify and assess a range of outcomes from agri-food systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales, and the trade-offs or synergies between them.
