Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences delves into the multifaceted interplay between food security, nutrition, and public health. We seek comprehensive research that assures safe, nutritious, and sufficient food through sustainable food production and consumption practices. Studies should focus on the impacts of dietary patterns on health, evaluating public health interventions aimed at promoting nutritious diets. Additionally, we are interested in how sustainable approaches within food systems can enhance nutritional outcomes and public health while conserving environmental resources for future generations. Submissions should contribute to the understanding of integrating sustainability into food security strategies to support global health and environmental goals. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative solutions and policy recommendations for achieving long-term food security and improved public health outcomes.
