Special Issue "Immigrants, Food Insecurity and Sustainable Society: The Changing Foodscapes between Culture, Health, and Diet"
This Special Issue explores the complex interplay between immigrants, food insecurity, culture, diet, health, and their role in building a sustainable society. The Special Issue also questions how processes of migration transform foodscapes. The aim is to examine how migrants' foodscapes change, how they transform the foodscapes of autochthonous societies, and how food extraction, transport and use due to migration generate new foodscapes.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The reciprocal influence of foodscapes of allochthonous and autochthonous populations;
- The importance of food in the construction of culture;
- Access, availability, and utilization of culturally appropriate foods;
- Food insecurity among immigrants and the potential impact on their health outcomes;
- Prevalence and predictors of food insecurity in immigrant communities;
- Food insecurity interventions and policies;
- Food Waste and Food Recovery;
- Culinary practices and dietary acculturation among immigrants;
- Cultural diversity, food practices and sustainable diets.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
