A new issue of the open access journal Mountain Research and Development presents findings on sustainable food systems in mountain regions. The issue also examines perceptions of national parks in a neoliberal context in Poland and Switzerland, and the postdisturbance recovery of forests and carbon stock in a national park in Slovakia.

The latest issue of Mountain Research and Development (MRD), Vol 39, No 1, is now available online, and open access. In this issue, two papers address food security in mountains: one presents a food systems mapping approach tested in Kenya and Bolivia, and the other assesses food consumption patterns among Mapuche communities in Chile.

Additional papers discuss the development of the water–food–energy nexus in the context of tourism in Nepal, perceptions of national parks in a neoliberal context in Poland (spatiotemporal and economic study) and Switzerland (multiperspectival linguistic study), behavior change of backcountry tourists in the Swiss Alps, and postdisturbance recovery of forests and carbon stock in a national park in Slovakia. The issue closes with a portrait of IMHE’s Research Center for Digital Mountain and Remote Sensing Application, and three tributes to the mountain researcher Professor Bruno Messerli, one of the MRI's earliest supporters, who passed away in February this year.
