Foods2023 — The 4th International Electronic Conference on Foods

The food system is a comprehensive and complex network, which includes all the industries involved in food production and processing, their interlinked value-added activities, and the parts of economic, social, and natural environmental sciences. Sustainable Food Systems mean economic sustainability, social sustainability, and environmental sustainability based on human nutrition and food security embedded in the food system.

A sustainable Food System is part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and one of the key goals of sustainable development in the world. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Food Systems faced significant global and regional challenges. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) put forward The Four Betters: Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment, and a Better Life, which reflect the interconnected economic, social, and environmental dimensions of agri-food systems.
