World Food Policy - Volume 2, Issue 2/Volume 3, Issue 1, Fall 2015/Spring 2016 W Call for Papers orld Food Policy (WFP) editors invite submission of manuscripts contributing to the Journal’ s Aim and Scope: to promote a multi-disciplinary forum for generating the analysis and understanding of global trends – as well as regional and local forces shaping food and food policies around the world. More than ever before, the world now faces paradoxes and predicaments on the problems related to food. On the one hand, we have problems of mulnutrition, hunger, and falling prices of commodities and agricultural products. On the other hand, we also have to deal with rising costs of obesity-related health problems, food waste, and increasing corporate monopolies of seeds and medicines through patents. Several longterm trends also contribute to future uncertainties that call for urgent international policy collaboration and transnational adjustments at all levels to address conditions critical to food sustainability and security: climate change, deforestation, rising world population, aging societies, depletion of freshwater resources, to name but a few.

Based on the concern that policies should be informed policies and that research knowledge must be effectively disseminated to reach those who actually set policies, the PSO seeks to disseminate scholarship and information to serve those making and evaluating policy.
