BMC Global and Public Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on food security, nutrition, and dietary trends. These are interconnected elements that profoundly impact global health and well-being. As the world grapples with rapid population growth, climate change, and economic disparities, the challenges surrounding food access, quality, and sustainability have intensified. This Collection aims to gather diverse research that examines these complex relationships, focusing on how dietary patterns, food availability, and nutritional status influence overall health outcomes. By exploring the multifaceted nature of food systems, this Collection seeks to showcase pathways to achieve improved food security and nutritional health worldwide.
The goal of this Collection is to build a comprehensive body of knowledge that informs policy and practice. We encourage submissions that investigate:
- Impact of dietary patterns on health outcomes
- Addressing food insecurity through policy
- Role of ultra-processed foods in nutrition
- Personalized nutrition and dietary therapy
- Nutritional supplements for malnutrition
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being.
We encourage work from local, regional, national, and global partnerships and collaboration among multidisciplinary scientists using multiple methodologies. We ask that authors be careful to use non-stigmatizing/preferred language in their manuscripts as outlined in relevant language guidelines for their respective fields.
All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer-review process. Reviewers and editors are required to declare competing interests and can be excluded from the peer review process if a competing interest exists.
