Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global food industry is undergoing a critical transition as it responds to increasing demands for sustainability, efficient resource utilization, and environmental protection. Climate change, population growth, and food system inefficiencies necessitate the adoption of innovative technologies that enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact. In this context, rapid advances in food science, processing technologies, and digitalization are creating new opportunities for more sustainable and resilient food production systems.
This Special Issue, “Advances in Sustainable Food Technology and Food Industry”, aims to showcase cutting-edge research, emerging technologies, and applied strategies that support circular economy principles and contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of food systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the valorization of agro-industrial by-products, the development of green and energy-efficient processing methods, the application of novel preservation and non-thermal technologies, and the integration of smart, data-driven solutions for sustainable production and supply chain management. By bringing together interdisciplinary academic research and industrial perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to promote innovation, enhance knowledge transfer, and support the transition toward a more sustainable, resilient, and resource-efficient food industry
