The importance of Food Literacy (FL) has grown significantly on a global scale, as it plays a key role in promoting food security and supporting sustainable development. This study aims to explore and map the current landscape of food literacy research, with a focus on identifying key areas of study, existing gaps, and the need for culturally relevant measurement tools. The research is guided by the hypothesis that a comprehensive understanding of food literacy (FL) can contribute to healthier dietary practices and improved public health outcomes. Using a scoping review approach and following the PRISMA guidelines, this study aims to examine how food literacy has been conceptualized and measured across various populations and contexts, particularly concerning health behaviors, education, and social factors.
