全球糧食安全的動機來自對科學家和政策制定者在滿足人類糧食和營養(yǎng)需求的同時保護環(huán)境服務這一挑戰(zhàn)的不斷擴大的信息量的關注。因此，期刊旨在為讀者提供：從廣泛的學科角度對確保糧食安全前景的專家的戰(zhàn)略觀點，以現(xiàn)有的最佳科學為基礎，以清晰易讀的形式面向廣大受眾，彌合生物科學、社會科學和環(huán)境科學之間的差距。綜述、意見和辯論，綜合、擴展和評論快速增長的全球糧食安全原始出版物的研究方法和發(fā)現(xiàn)請查看期刊邀請文章的標準（在作者指南中，在文章類型下），如果合適，請將摘要發(fā)送給主編：jess fanzo教授，jfanzo1@jhu.edu。全球糧食安全旨在發(fā)表有助于更好地了解當前和未來全球糧食安全的經(jīng)濟、社會、生物物理、技術(shù)和體制驅(qū)動因素的論文。全球糧食安全旨在激發(fā)根植于強大科學、具有強大跨學科聯(lián)系的辯論，并認識到在協(xié)調(diào)相互競爭的目標和結(jié)果時發(fā)生的權(quán)衡，這些目標和結(jié)果可能因時空尺度不同而有所不同。雖然鼓勵跨學科整合，但如果全球糧食安全的組成部分涉及到重要的制約因素并具有廣泛的推論空間，也將考慮這些文件。其目標是就以下食品安全要素的研究發(fā)表簡明、及時的評論和綜合文章：?可用性（足夠的數(shù)量和質(zhì)量）?準入（負擔能力、運作市場和政策）?營養(yǎng)、安全和衛(wèi)生?穩(wěn)定性和環(huán)境（恢復力和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)服務）全球糧食安全內(nèi)容的顯著特點是：（a）包含幾篇論述對糧食安全具有重要意義的具體、及時主題的論文的問題，（b）在其領域內(nèi)被公認的權(quán)威作者，（c）以跨學科的方式和從國家到全球的規(guī)模關注糧食安全挑戰(zhàn)，以及（d）關注挑戰(zhàn)當前的模式，尋求就全球問題提供開箱即用的思考。鑒于這一重點，全球糧食安全將成為研究人員、講師、教師、學生、專業(yè)人士、決策者和國際媒體的寶貴信息來源。

Motivation for Global Food Security arose from concern about the difficulty scientists and policy makers have in keeping up with the expanding volume of information about the challenge of meeting human food and nutritional needs while protecting environmental services. Hence, the Journal aims to provide readers with:Strategic views of experts from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives on prospects for ensuring food security, based on the best available science, in a clear and readable form for a wide audience, bridging the gap between biological, social and environmental sciences.Reviews, opinions and debates that synthesize, extend and critique research approaches and findings from the rapidly growing body of original publications on global food securityPlease review the journal's criteria (in Guide for Authors, under Types of Article) for inviting articles, and if appropriate send an abstract to the Editor-in-Chief: Professor Jess Fanzo, jfanzo1@jhu.edu.Global Food Security aims to publish papers that contribute to better understanding of economic, social, biophysical, technological, and institutional drivers of current and future global food security.Global Food Security aims to stimulate debate that is rooted in strong science, has strong interdisciplinary connections, and recognizes tradeoffs that occur in reconciling competing objectives and outcomes that may differ depending on spatial and temporal scale.While integration across academic disciplines is encouraged, papers on components of Global Food Security will also be considered if they address important constraints and have a broad inference space. The goal is to publish concise and timely reviews and synthesis articles about research on following elements of food security:?Availability (sufficient quantity and quality)?Access (affordability, functioning markets and policies)?Nutrition, Safety and Sanitation ?Stability and Environment (resilience and ecosystem services)Distinguishing features of Global Food Security content are: (a)issues that contain several papers that address specific, timely topics of importance to food security, (b) authors who are recognized authorities in their field, (c) a focus on food security challenges in an interdisciplinary manner and at national to global scales, and (d) a focus on challenging current paradigms, seeking to provide out-of-the box thinking on global issues.Given this focus, Global Food Security will be an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, students, professionals, policy makers and the international media.
