Food Systems, Safety & Sustainability (FSSS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research on the transformation, safety, resilience, and sustainability of food systems. The journal provides a scholarly platform for research that connects food production, processing, distribution, consumption, public health, environmental protection, resource governance, and post-consumption recovery.

FSSS approaches food systems as interconnected ecological, technological, economic, social, and regulatory networks. It welcomes research that examines how food can be produced, processed, transported, governed, and consumed in ways that protect human health, reduce environmental pressures, strengthen system resilience, and promote equitable access to safe and nutritious food.

The journal covers a broad range of topics, including food safety and risk assessment, foodborne hazards, sustainable agriculture, food processing and preservation, supply-chain management and traceability, food policy and governance, nutrition and public health, climate-resilient food systems, food loss and waste reduction, circular bioeconomy, digital technologies, data-driven food-system management, and innovations supporting sustainable production and consumption.

FSSS encourages contributions from food science, agricultural science, environmental science, public health, nutrition, economics, management, engineering, policy studies, sociology, and related disciplines. Particular attention is given to interdisciplinary, comparative, and solution-oriented research that addresses complex food-system challenges across different regions, income settings, and institutional contexts.

The journal is committed to rigorous peer review, editorial independence, research integrity, methodological transparency, responsible data practices, and internationally recognised standards of publication ethics. Editorial decisions are based on scholarly quality, originality, methodological soundness, relevance to the journal’s scope, and the potential contribution of the research to scientific knowledge, policy development, professional practice, or sustainable food-system transformation.

Published by Panorama Scholarly Group, FSSS serves researchers, educators, policymakers, public-health professionals, food-industry practitioners, regulators, civil-society organisations, and other stakeholders working across the global food system. The journal seeks to facilitate constructive dialogue between disciplines and sectors while promoting evidence-based responses to current and emerging challenges in food safety and sustainability.
