Overview
Sustainability in food systems refers to producing, processing, distributing, and consuming food in ways that maintain long-term environmental, economic, and social viability. A sustainable food system aims to provide adequate, nutritious food for present and future populations while conserving natural resources, limiting greenhouse-gas emissions and waste, protecting biodiversity, and supporting fair livelihoods for those who grow and supply food. It connects agriculture, nutrition, public health, and environmental stewardship, recognising that the way food is produced shapes both human health and the resilience of the ecosystems food depends on. As a field of study, sustainability in food systems examines questions such as how dietary patterns affect environmental footprints, how supply chains can reduce loss and waste, and how nutrition goals can be met within ecological limits. These concerns sit squarely within the journal's nutrition and public-health scope, where diet, food quality, and population health are central. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to sustainable food systems, supporting researchers, nutrition professionals, and students examining the links between food production, dietary health, and environmental sustainability.
