Introduction

British Food Journal (BFJ, https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/bfj ) will publish a special issue on “Promoting Sustainable Food Production: Challenges, Practices, Impacts, and Solutions”. 

With a global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, food production is expected to increase by 70% in the next 30 years to ensure food security. Food insecurity affects an estimated 750 million people, making it one of the most pressing concerns of our time. However, as they stand, global food production systems are not sustainable. They contribute to climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem degradation, eutrophication, deforestation, air pollution, and groundwater depletion. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these problems by influencing global food production. Promoting sustainable food production is integral to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: it will help end hunger, achieve food security and dietary diversity, improve health and well-being, promote economic growth, and combat climate change. Thus, sustainable food production is integral to addressing social, environmental, and economic issues—an urgent transition towards sustainable food production is needed.

It is encouraging to see a substantial body of research devoted to exploring the need for and the benefits of developing sustainable food systems in general, and sustainable food production in particular. However, answers to important questions remain unclear: What are the key challenges of promoting sustainable food production systems? What practices food producers have adopted? What are the socioeconomics and environmental impacts of these practices? Answers to these questions will help devise appropriate solutions for promoting sustainable food production. They will also provide insights for policymakers to design appropriate policy instruments to boost sustainable food production. 

List of topic areas

This Special Issue aims to present a comprehensive view of this field. We invite high-quality empirical and applied research articles, viewpoint articles, case studies and literature, and general reviews from all disciplines relating to sustainable food production. We welcome articles discussing sustainable food production from the perspectives of households, farmers, and enterprises. Research exploring the following themes (and other topics related to sustainable food production) will be considered:

Challenges

• Challenges of transitioning to sustainable food production;

• Socio-demographic characteristics and sustainable food production;

• COVID-19 and sustainable food production;

• Climate change and sustainable food production.

Practices

• Practices (e.g., sustainable agricultural practices, climate-smart practices, conservation agriculture, resource-efficient practices, green practices, biological control, and organic agriculture) in sustainable food production;

• Pro-environmental intentions and behaviour in sustainable food production;

• Resource (e.g., water, energy, and other inputs) quality and availability, resource-use efficiency, and sustainable food production;

• Pathways to reduce the environmental footprint of food production;

• Biotechnology and sustainable food production;

• Comparison between sustainable and non-sustainable food production practices;

• Agricultural research and development.

Regulations

• Food safety and quality standards;

• Regulations and practices of sustainable food production;

• Sustainable practices and industrial food production.

Impacts

• Sustainable food production, climate change, and environmental health;
