座長解題／健康かつ持続可能な食事とフードシステム

抄録

Since the Second International Conference on Nutrition in 2014, several international organizations have reported that the involvement of the food system is critical for solving global health and nutrition issues and for protecting the global environment. At about the same time, the Food System Research Association of Japan has discussed related themes at annual conferences. In this special issue, we asked both nutrition researchers and food system researchers to provide topics on “health and sustainable diet”. We expect this issue will enhance related research and advocacy by the Association, consisting of members with various academic and business backgrounds, such as food economics, food science, food production, food industry management, and nutrition.
