New Global Food Security journal

A new journal - Global Food Security - is launching in 2012.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, bridging the gap between biological, social and environmental sciences.
• Reviews, opinions and debates that synthesize, extend and critique research approaches and findings on global food security.

The journal will publish research on the 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)

Issues of the publication will contain several papers that address specific, timely topics of importance to food security. Authors will be recognised authorities in their field. It will focus on interdisciplinary aspects of food security challenges at national to global scales, and will look to challenge current paradigms, seeking to provide ‘out-of-the box’ thinking on global issues.

The first edition (October 2012) features 11 articles on lessons learned from the Somalia 2011 famine.
