Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As stated by the United Nations, “The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice” (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/development-agenda/). The ability to produce enough food for all people on Earth is a challenge that should be achieved while preserving the environment and health. The UN General Assembly designated 2021 the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV) (https://www.fao.org/fruits-vegetables-2021/en/) because fruits and vegetables are a valuable source of food that require a sustainable production. One of the limiting factors for vegetable production is the threat of horticultural crop diseases, many of which are caused by fungi and oomycetes. This Special Issue deals with any research whose aim is, both in the short or the long run, to develop sustainable strategies to control diseases caused by pathogenic fungi and oomycetes in horticultural crops.
