About this journal

Aims and scope

The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition is the premier peer-reviewed journal that examines global food and water system issues that impact access, nutrition, human health and ecological health.

The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition comprehensively examines local, national, and international hunger and environmental nutrition issues — specifically food access, food and water security, food production and processing, food waste, natural resources, and the interconnectedness to nutrition and health. The journal is designed to provide current research and practical application strategies for policies, systems and environments that maintain optimal nutrition and well being for individuals and communities.

The Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition :

  • Provides a distinguished venue for the publication of original articles prepared by scholars and practitioners and reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees
  • Publishes manuscripts that advance knowledge across the range of research and practice issues in nutrition, food and water security, health, agriculture, and the environment; and
  • Supports the professional growth of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in these areas.

Manuscripts must be submitted online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Submitted manuscripts are subject to a first screening by the Editors of the Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition, whereupon manuscripts found suitable for further consideration enter the peer-review process. Manuscripts undergo double anonymized peer-review, which means that the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers who handle their specific manuscripts, and reviewers do not know the identities of the authors.
