Special Issue information:

Dear Colleagues,

We are very proud to lead this Special Issue that aims to promote and support the contributions of women scientists in all areas related to foods, including the science, technology, engineering, innovation and development of new foods, among others.
Women scientists are leading ground-breaking research across the world and this Special Issue is intended to be a space where this research can be collected, highlighting the involvement of women in the development of our society and as role models for younger generations of women researchers who want to pursue their scientific careers and break the glass ceiling.
Regional, national and international programs are in place which promote gender equality in science, and we hope that this Special Issue series can contribute to achieving this aim.
All types of papers are welcome, including original research papers and review articles.
Although the purpose of this Special Issue is to promote and celebrate the achievements of women in science, no gender-specific restrictions will be imposed, and so we welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender identity.
