A Correction on
Editorial: Diverse economies and food democracy: implications for sustainability from an interdisciplinary perspective

by Exner, A., Kneafsey, M., and Mayer, A. (2025). Front. Sustain. Food Syst. 9:1680930. doi: 10.3389/fsufs.2025.1680930

The sentence “what food democracy practically entails, how it is related to similar concepts such as food sovereignty, and how it affects the environment.” was erroneously repeated.

A correction has been made to Paragraph 1. The paragraph now reads:

“Social movements have long argued for democratizing decisions about how food is produced, processed, distributed and consumed, and scholarly interest in such issues has recently been increasing. Yet questions remain as to what food democracy practically entails, how it is related to similar concepts such as food sovereignty, and how it affects the environment. When publishing the call for papers that build this Research Topic, we wanted to support a deepening of the discussion on these three challenges by bringing together new perspectives on food democracy, understood as forms of joint decision-making by food producers, consumers, public authorities, and stakeholders, at various scales.”

Several references were not cited in the article.

A correction has been made to Paragraph 2:

“The 11 papers of this Research Topic cover multiple aspects of food democracy, five with a conceptual focus (Jani et al., Plank et al., Leitheiser and Vezzoni, Anderson, Tilzey) and six that present conceptually-informed empirical case studies (Degens and Lapschieß, Pungas, Hoinle and Klosterkamp, Horstink et al., Middendorf and Herzig, Lukwa et al.).”

The original version of this article has been updated.
