Food, Environment and Health Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

The topic of food composition and toxicology is directly connected with environmental conditions and is reflected in human and animal health. Another point of view is related to different environmental conditions that influence food production/food processing/food quality/food safety, and specific detection methods that are required to characterize the food.

Herbal medicine, local/traditional food, functional food, and food supplements are part of healthy and complete food intake, and for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease.

A healthy lifestyle and consumer behavior are important to be understood by people and food manufactures/providers/nutritionists, in order to find the best management ways for the prevention of health problems, maximization of wellbeing, and applying the new concept of personalized nutrition.

This Special Issue invites authors to present their challenging experiences in different areas of food/nutrition issues connected with the environment and health.

We invite the submission of original manuscripts dealing with the proposed topics, while not being limited to those presented in the frame of the International Conference NT-SMT-LS 2020 (http://www.healthfoodenviron.unitbv.ro/2020/), to be held in Bucharest, Romania (a special discount of 10% will be provided to papers presented during the conference if the article is accepted by at least two independent reviewers of the journal).

The submission deadline is 15 March 2021. You may send your manuscript at any point from now until the deadline.

We look forward to your contribution to this Special Issue.
