SOCIAL ECOLOGY. Journal for environmental thought and sociological research ISSN (print): 1330-0113; ISSN (online): 1849-0360   SPECIAL ISSUE: FOOD SOVEREIGNTY IN EUROPE About the special issue: Despite the growing levels of income in European countries, the issues of food scarcity, inequalities and sovereignty are increasingly relevant in times of climate crisis and the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Therefore, we kindly invite you to submit your theoretical and empirical scientific papers on the issues related to food sovereignty for possible publication in the scientific journal   So...
