    Special Issue On: Sustainability and Public Health Nutrition
    Submission Due Date: 15 March 2014
    Full Details at: http://journals.cambridge.org/images/fileUpload/images/PHN_call_for_papers_nov13.pdf
    Guest Editors: Associate Professor Mark Lawrence, Dr Barbara Burlingame, Prof Colin D Butler, Prof Martin Caraher, Prof Michelle Holdsworth, Dr Roni Neff, Dr Lada Timotijevic,

    Public Health Nutrition (PHN) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on “Sustainability and Public Health Nutrition” scheduled to appear in 2015. By the year 2050, our global agricultural and food systems will need to be able to produce enough to feed 9-10 billion people. Besides its negative environmental effects, continuing our current systems of food production, distribution, and consumption will likely have measurable, negative consequences on food insecurity, hunger, malnutrition, nutrient deficiencies, and obesity. Although the magnitude of its health impact remains uncertain, it will likely affect the frequency and severity of health risks, especially in developing countries and in vulnerable populations internationally. Changing our food systems towards sustainability while also meeting food demands will require a shared understanding of current status and trends, and collaborative efforts involving the public and private sectors, community participation, and researchers across multiple disciplines.    .

    Food aid and providing for the most disadvantaged in society has been a feature of communities since societies came together. In the great depression of the 1920/30s food banks became a means of delivering food to the many who were destitute and without work. Post WWII saw the emergence of nation states where social solidarity was embedded in welfare and rights and there was move away from food charity or philanthropy and the concept of the undeserving poor. During this time food banks reverted to an emergency food role filling in gaps and faults in state provision, often distributing to those who fell outside the formal welfare system such as the homeless and illegal immigrants. However, since the 2007 global economic crises we have seen the reemergence of food banks as a way of providing aid in society ,no longer merely filling gaps but becoming the main providers of food for an increasing number in society, and is related to:
    • The withdrawal by the state from food welfare as a means of cost saving;
    • The need for emergency and quick responses.
    Other relevant issues include the realization of the amount of waste in the food system with food banks and food pantries being seen as acceptable ways of redistributing this food as well as the development of the “foodbank plus model”

    .
    Call for papers
    The guest editors of this Special Issue are seeking contributions from across the spectrum of food aid and emergency food responses research. We are interested in both empirical research articles as well as conceptual pieces. In this regard we welcome papers covering (but not limited to) the following topics:

    • What is/ are food banks? What are the core or common components of a food bank, are there cultural differences within and between countries? How do different structures, models of provision and countries compare?
    • Tensions and collaborations between food banks and intergovernmental organizations
    • What is the evidence that food banks address:
    o food insecurity or
    o increase dependence and widen inequality and food insecurity?
    • Examples of faith based food welfare provision/non denominational food provision.
    • What are the views/opinions of food bank users?
    • Who are the users of food banks? Are there new groups of users and what are their attitudes to food banks ?
    • What do we know about the attitudes and views of those running food banks including volunteers?
    • What is the evidence for the impact of food banks on the health and diet of users/recipients
    • Lessons for the developed world from the developing world, eg the peasant and landless movements role in tackling food insecurity.
    • What does ‘food bank plus’’ look like, are there merging example of food aid which offer new and innovative solutions to simply providing those in need with food.
    • How food banks relate to orthodox models of food retailing eg in economic or food safety terms
    • How the collaboration with food banks (sponsorships, donations, etc…) can affect image, reputation and CSR of agro-food firms and retailers? Is this collaboration perceived as a source of competitive advantage?

    Quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method studies are welcomed as well as conceptual or policy based discussions on the role, place and future look of food banks.
