The Extension for Scoping Reviews’ approach (PRISMA-ScR) was applied to identify suitable articles which resulted in six theoretical and empirical themes on the intersection of children and food in tourism and hospitality undertaken by researchers in a time frame of 25 years. The original contribution of this article lies in delineating a future research agenda and recommending a child-inclusive approach to academic scholarship as part of a broader social justice and childism agenda.Under Sage's Green Open Access policy, the Accepted Version of the article may be posted in the author's institutional repository and reuse is restricted to non-commercial and no derivative uses.1504 Commercial Services1505 Marketing1506 Tourism3504 Commercial services3508 TourismJournal ArticleOpenAccess
