A simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.

Web of Science is one of the most popular databases for scientific researchers. Find scholarly articles from a wide range of science fields.

Explore the connections between articles with quick links to citation information.

Tips - use quotes around the phrase "processed food" so that the search tools look for those words together. Because these terms are such common words, without using quotes, sometimes the phrase can get lost in a sea of other food results.

Also, consider using search terms like health impacts or health outcomes that are more neutral and don't assume that processed foods are good or bad.

Tips - this is a huge topic, consider adding specific challenges to your search (e.g., climate change, salinization, drought, supply chain, conflict). Be on the lookout for alternative terms for technology (e.g., smart agriculture).

If you are using phrases like "food sustainability" in your search, be sure to include quotes around the phrase to help focus your search on that specific idea.

Both the Agricultural & Environmental Science and the CAB databases contains many government and NGO reports as well as scientific articles. Consider reading the reports as they may have concrete information on what types of projects are being discussed or funded.
