Scope

• Food availability is the first axis, meaning enough high quality and socially appropriate food from the local to the global level粮食可得性是第一支柱，即在地方到全球尺度上保证数量充足、质量优良且符合社会习俗的食物供给。
• Food access concerns economic and physical reach to safe and nutritious food, through poverty reduction, well-functioning markets and conducive food environments粮食可及性关注通过减贫、运转良好的市场与有利的食物环境，在经济与物理上获得安全营养的食物。
• Food quality covers safety, nutritional adequacy and the socio-cultural roles that determine how food can actually be used粮食质量涵盖安全性、营养充足性，以及决定食物实际利用方式的社会文化角色。
• Stability, environmental sustainability and climate change are treated together, with resilience of agri-food systems as the organising question稳定性、环境可持续性与气候变化被放在一起讨论，以农业食物系统的韧性作为核心问题。
• The wider socio-economic context includes agency within food systems and the effects of transformation on poverty, inequality and food cultures更广泛的社会经济背景包括食物系统内部的能动性，以及系统转型对贫困、不平等与食物文化的影响。
• Article types are strategic reviews, original research with relevance beyond its own setting, and reviews, opinions and debates that critique methods and findings文章类型包括战略性综述、结论可外推的原创研究，以及评论方法与本领域发现的观点与辩论稿。
• The journal deliberately bridges biological, social and environmental science, and requires technically complex analysis to be readable for a multidisciplinary and policy audience期刊刻意打通生物科学、社会科学与环境科学的界限，并要求技术性较强的分析能被多学科读者与政策读者读懂。
