GSFS Call for papers
Global Smart Food Systems (GSFS) is a cutting edge, inter-/trans- disciplinary gold open access journal that delves into the intricate web of food systems worldwide. GSFS focuses on innovations and technological advancements in food production, distribution, manufacturing, nutrition, marketing, and sustainability and their impact on local and global economies and related policies. By examining power dynamics, equity, sustainability, and associated governance, actors, and drivers we aim to transform the “Plate-to consumer-to planet” paradigm and work towards the achievement of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs).
Global Smart Food Systems is a platform that uses a unique comprehensive food systems approach to explore not only technology but also the ethical and sustainable impacts of smart systems on food equity and further related environments. Other areas of focus include but are not limited to:
- Governance in food systems (local, national, public, private, civic, hybrid)
- Inter-disciplinarity and trans-disciplinarity research in food systems
- Food systems drivers for structural change
- Global thinking and local acting in food systems (globalisation, acculturation)

- Media and communication (constructing the public understanding of/behavior in smart food systems)
- Water-Energy-Food-Environment nexus in food systems
- Global climate change and smart food systems
