Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Global Food Security: Agriculture Policy, Economics and Environment' focuses on the multifaceted challenges of food security, integrating agricultural policies, economic analysis, and environmental considerations. It aims to provide a platform for research that addresses contemporary issues affecting food systems globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
  1. Food Security Assessment and Policy Analysis:
    The journal emphasizes rigorous assessments of food security at both global and local levels, exploring the effectiveness of various agricultural policies and interventions aimed at improving food access and nutritional outcomes.
  2. Sustainable Agricultural Practices:
    Research published in the journal frequently investigates sustainable agricultural methods, innovations, and technologies that enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impacts, aiming for resilience in food systems.
  3. Socio-Economic and Cultural Dimensions of Food Security:
    The journal highlights the importance of socio-economic factors and cultural contexts in shaping food security, exploring issues such as gender roles, migration, and the influence of local traditions on food consumption patterns.
  4. Climate Change and Food Systems:
    A significant focus is placed on the intersection of climate change and food security, examining how environmental changes affect agricultural productivity, food supply chains, and the resilience of communities.
  5. Health and Nutrition Linkages:
    The journal integrates research on nutrition and health, emphasizing the connections between dietary diversity, food environments, and overall public health outcomes.
The journal has increasingly embraced emerging themes that resonate with current global challenges in food security, reflecting the dynamic nature of research in this field. Recent publications highlight innovative approaches and critical areas of inquiry.
  1. Impact of Climate Change on Food Systems:
    Recent papers emphasize the urgent need to address climate change's impact on food systems, focusing on adaptation strategies and resilience-building measures for communities vulnerable to environmental shocks.
  2. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Food Security:
    There is a growing trend towards interdisciplinary research that integrates insights from agriculture, economics, public health, and environmental science, fostering comprehensive solutions to food insecurity.
  3. Gender and Food Systems:
    Emerging themes increasingly address gender dynamics in food systems, exploring women's roles in agriculture, food security, and the importance of gender-responsive policies to enhance resilience.
  4. Urban Food Security and Governance:

  5. Digital Innovations in Agriculture:
    The integration of digital technologies in agriculture is gaining traction, with research exploring how innovations can improve food production, market access, and resilience against shocks.

Declining or Waning

While the journal covers a broad array of topics, certain themes have shown a decline in prominence over recent years. This reflects shifts in global priorities and emerging challenges in the field of food security.
  1. Traditional Agricultural Practices:
    Research focusing solely on conventional farming techniques has decreased, as there is a growing emphasis on sustainable and innovative practices that address contemporary challenges such as climate change and food insecurity.
  2. Static Food Security Models:
    There is a noticeable decline in publications utilizing static models of food security, as researchers increasingly adopt dynamic, systems-based approaches that account for complex interactions within food systems.
  3. Limited Geographical Focus:
    Studies that concentrate on isolated geographical regions without considering broader global linkages are becoming less frequent, reflecting a shift towards more integrated analyses that consider global food systems and trade dynamics.
  4. Generalized Food Security Indicators:
    The use of broad, generalized indicators for food security assessment is waning, giving way to more nuanced, context-specific measures that reflect local conditions and challenges.
  5. Focus on Food Production Alone:
    There is a diminishing emphasis on food production metrics without consideration of consumption patterns, dietary diversity, and socio-economic factors affecting food security.
