Food Control
An official scientific journal of the European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST) and the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST).
Food Control is an international journal that publishes manuscripts resulting from original scientific investigation into significant food safety and food quality concerns and preventative control measures that improve public health. Manuscripts submitted to this journal should document the problem of concern, proper hypothesis, experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation of the observed results, supported by relevant statistical analysis. The research should have an international scope, not limiting to local issues.
The journal focuses on postharvest human food safety and quality issues and welcomes submissions related to the areas of interest listed below:
- Microbial contaminants and food safety - causes and control measures, including isolation, detection, and intervention methods
- Chemical and biochemical contaminants (mycotoxins included) - causes and control measures, including isolation, detection, and intervention methods
- Food safety preventative control measures, including process development, HACCP, food safety objectives, quality assurance, and good manufacturing practices
- Food safety risk assessment
- Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
- Consumer training and education
- Food Authentication and Traceability
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions that do not fulfil these requirements will not be considered for review and publication.
Food Policy
Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies.
Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
Policy issues that are relevant to the journal include:
• Food production, trade, marketing, and consumption
• Nutrition and health aspects of food systems
• Food needs, entitlements, security, and aid
• Food safety and quality assurance
• Technological and institutional innovation affecting food systems and access
• Food systems and environmental sustainability
Conceptual and methodological articles should be written so that they are accessible to the journal's diverse international readership. We normally do not publish review papers, although we might make rare exceptions for rigorous and critical reviews on topical issues.
Global Food Security
Agriculture, policy, economics and environment. Achieving food security from the local to global levels requires that actions are taken throughout the food system and that address the complexity of technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors that influence the availability, access, quality, and sustainability of food. In so doing, it aims to promote food systems that meet human food and nutritional requirements whilst protecting the environment, securing livelihoods, mitigating against climate change, and reducing inequalities.
Global Food Security enables researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with the most recent research and perspectives on food security drawn from across the diversity of disciplines that contribute to understanding of how sustainable food security can be achieved for all. It aims to be an internationally recognized resource that presents cutting-edge research and perspectives in a manner that is accessible to a diverse audience.
Global Food Security publishes papers that contribute to better understanding of the drivers of sustainable food security and how challenges to achieving this can be most effectively overcome. In so doing, it welcomes contributions:
- From across the natural and social sciences.
- That are interdisciplinary in their focus.
- Are rooted in strong science and employ rigorous methods.
- Clearly articulate implications for global food security, and especially beyond the immediate geographical context on which they focus.
Importantly, Global Food Security aims to stimulating debate over the solutions to food security challenges from the local to global levels and the actions needed to enhance food security in a manner that is equitable and sustainable. Aiming to be accessible to a multidisciplinary audience, contributions must be concise and accessible to those with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives.

World Food Policy
World Food Policy (WFP) is a biannual multidisciplinary journal covering scholarly articles on food security. Its main focus is on current food security issues within domestic and international politics. Our journal is intended for students, academics specialists, and general readers and practitioners on the field. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food security, we accept manuscripts from any of the social sciences as long as they are committed to methodological pluralism rooted in strong science.
World Food Policy is essential reading to keep abreast of food security studies, the relationships between food systems and social, economic, and environmental change, and related thinking on public policy. Its interests span both developed and developing countries, theoretical advances as well as empirical analyses and case studies, a broad range of disciplinary approaches, and concern with historical and present-day problems. Through its research articles, research notes and policy briefs, WFP contributes to the liveliness and critical depth of its field.
The aim of WFP is to promote a multi-disciplinary forum for generating the analysis and understanding of global trends as well as regional and local forces shaping food and food policies around the world—including non-food commodities with noticeable impact on the world food sector or comparative national food policies. Given this aim, communicability among scholars and practitioners from various disciplines and sectors will be the guiding principle in the selection and the editing of papers to be published in the journal.
With the above aim, scope, and level of technical analysis, areas of interest to WFP include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
- Climate change/environment change and food security.
- Domestic and international food prices.
- Global or regional trends affecting the production, distribution, and consumption of food.
- Policy processes and networks of the national, transnational, and global food sector.
- Food governance and regulations and effects of these multi-layer institutional mechanisms on food systems.
- Political economy and aid.
- Food safety, nutrition, and health.
- Research and development, institutional innovations, and production and consumption alternatives in the food sector.
- Rights, accessibility, control, and contestations.
- Moral and ethical issues in food policy decision and implementation.
- Relations and connections between food and other policy issues, such as labor, logistics, energy, and cultural identities.
