• Disaster resilience of urban areas

Emerald. Sustainable Food Systems

One of the key focus areas of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) is to achieve zero hunger and clean water and sanitation for all. Researchers, particularly interdisciplinary research teams, play a vital role in finding solutions to the problems of food and water security. The Sustainable Food Systems gateway aims to address scientific, sociological, political and economic challenges around sustainable food systems to offer solutions for development and to drive change. The gateway welcomes original research articles, case studies, research notes, data notes, methods, software tools, study protocols and correspondence that address the following areas of sustainable food systems.

The Sustainable Development Goals Series is Springer Nature’s inaugural cross-imprint book series that addresses and supports the United Nations’ seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. The series fosters comprehensive research focused on these global targets and endeavours to address some of society’s greatest grand challenges. The SDGs are inherently multidisciplinary, and they bring people working across different fields together and working towards a common goal. In this spirit, the Sustainable Development Goals series is the first at Springer Nature to publish books under both the Springer and Palgrave Macmillan imprints, bringing the strengths of our imprints together.
