Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in food and nutrition include the utilization of foodomics to enhance food safety and quality, as well as to combat fraud and understand the molecular impact of food bioactive composition on health. The global climate emergency is endangering food supply chains, especially in developing regions, and diversified ingredient sourcing options, waste valorization, and valid opportunities for sustainable agro-economical practices are needed to provide safe and healthy foods for optimal nutrition.
Within food and nutrition, future approaches require interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary action, spanning both investigation and innovation. The areas of interest are multiple, including genetics, personalized nutrition, bioinformatics, biomarkers, individual and public health, dietary needs and recommendations, etc. The interoperability in food and nutrition also requires sustainable development to guarantee the resilience of food systems. The aim is to understand the complex relationships between food choices and health and well-being throughout the life cycle. Collaborative research efforts are crucial to ensure universal access to sustainable healthy diets for eradicating malnutrition and maintaining a healthy population and planet.
