Abstract in brief

This special issue argues that transforming global food systems to address health and environmental crises requires a critical look at the political and economic forces that shape how food is produced, distributed, and governed.
Recent decades have seen shifts in power within food systems, including increased influence of multinational corporations and financial actors, greater urban and local government involvement, and market concentration in supply chains.
To truly achieve sustainable change, it’s essential to analyze and rethink these underlying political economies, moving beyond simple technical fixes to address the broader power dynamics at play.]
