  abstract = {{F}ood systems and their sustainability have been extensively studied in high-income countries ({HIC}s), yet less so in low- and middle-income countries ({LMIC}s), despite their importance for global food security. {I}n this study, we conducted a systematic scoping review to describe the extent, range, and nature of peer-reviewed literature assessing the sustainability performance of food systems in {LMIC}s. {T}he review revealed a recent and heterogeneous literature. {F}rom this diversity, 3 archetypes of epistemological approaches emerged, classified by their purpose: observational, modeling, and transformative. {A}ll 3 approaches apply existing or tailored methods to specifically study food systems, and their objectives are to observe, model, or transform different parts of the food systems towards sustainability. {G}aps in the literature include inconsistent definitions of food systems and frameworks and understudied drivers of food systems sustainability. {T}herefore, the development of a comprehensive and systematic inventory of frameworks and their sustainability is crucial to determine the most suitable interdisciplinary methodologies for specific contexts and generate actionable knowledge for food systems transformation.},
