Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJFSNPH intends to contribute to the improvement of public health, nationally and internationally, through quality research and a better understanding of the science involved in food safety, nutrition and dietetics, food studies, food and restaurant management, and public health. This unique initiative aims to integrate the study of these various disciplines to promote better health for all sections of society.

Today, in recognition of the fundamental importance of food safety and nutrition to human life and wellbeing, there is a growing demand for knowledge transfer, in order to inform skilled public health professionals, nutritionists, food managers, and food professionals on key issues regarding the pivotal role of food safety and nutrition in influencing the health outcomes in a given population.

 Go Top  Objectives

The objectives of IJFSNPH are to establish an effective channel of communication between food scientists, nutritionists, public health professionals, producers, marketers, policy makers, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and others concerned the food safety, nutrition and public health dimensions. It aims at "Safe Food for Better Nutrition" which will consequently promote public health and combat diseases. The international dimension is emphasised in order to catalyse diffusion of technological advances to food producers and consumers worldwide and to heighten international awareness of emerging public health challenges related to food safety and malnutrition.
