Share this to :

This review, published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems (Apr 2021), explores the changing food production, distribution and consumption environment in low- and middle-income countries and emerging economies as a basis for framing how to study food systems in order to address public health issues of food safety and nutrition.

The review presents the state of knowledge on existing food systems science and its use in terms of sustainable actions for food safety and public health. The review identifies a knowledge gap in food system mapping and governance, with value chain mapping of key commodities often missing.
