Introducing Environmental Research: Food Systems—cultivating multidisciplinary solutions to transform food systems in an era of global change

Abstract Environmental Research: Food Systems is a new multidisciplinary, open-access, and society-run journal from IOP Publishing dedicated to informing solutions to the considerable environmental, social, and economic challenges facing food systems. The journal’s scope covers the entirety of food systems, from production to consumption, with research on the interactions between food systems and the environment particularly encouraged. Supported by a distinguished Editorial Board with diverse disciplinary backgrounds, the inaugural issue features studies on sustainable agricultural practices, global food trade, crop modeling, climate change adaptation, and sustainable consumption for climate change mitigation. The journal is committed to rigorous peer review, the highest standards of research integrity, and open access publications. By providing a new community-supported venue for food systems researchers, Environmental Research: Food Systems aims to drive innovation, inform policy, and foster sustainable food systems worldwide.
