BMC Nutrition is calling for submissions to our Collection on food policies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on their role in enhancing food security and nutrition. This Collection aims to explore the development and implementation of effective food policies that can foster sustainable agricultural practices, enhance trade, and ultimately contribute to the health and well-being of populations in LMICs. By supporting innovative research, we aim to contribute to the global discourse on effective solutions to combat hunger and improve nutritional outcomes.
