Special Issue on Foods and Public Health

Foods and Public Health focuses on the critical interconnections between dietary patterns, food systems, and population health outcomes in both developed and developing contexts. It aims to advance interdisciplinary research addressing malnutrition in all its forms, diet-related non-communicable diseases, food safety, nutritional epidemiology, and health equity. The issue welcomes empirical studies, policy analyses, community-based interventions, and innovative methodologies that examine food environments, sustainable diets, food security, and regulatory frameworks influencing public health. By integrating perspectives from nutrition science, epidemiology, public health policy, food technology, and social sciences, this special issue seeks to provide evidence-based insights that inform effective strategies for improving dietary behaviors, strengthening food systems, and promoting long-term population health and well-being.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Foods and Public Health. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Behavioral and social determinants of diet
