Looking back on 2019: a selection of Food Security articles

Abstract

Food Security has a multidisciplinary vision which addresses all the dimensions of food security at all its scales, from the individual to global. The journal involves a large Editorial Board and an extended network of Reviewers. Nevertheless, because of the many dimensions of the food security problem, because of the large size of the submissions that are commonly submitted to the journal, and because of our aim to excellence, publication may sometimes be slow. We shall do better in 2020. This editorial highlights some of the diversity, relevance, and importance of Food Security as an international scientific journal in different fields: the importance of sociology and social capital; the physical access to food; agriculture - what it is supposed to deliver as a system and its sustainability; gender and the inequality of gender towards food; and the environmental constraints to achieving food security. Some Food Security submissions involve up to three Editors and ten Reviewers to achieve publication: This Editorial is also meant to thank the very large, volunteer, community involved in Food Security: Authors, Editors, and Reviewers.
