Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The continued growth of the world's population and the increasing prosperity of people over the next three decades will require an increase in food production. At the same time, these huge quantities of food must be produced in a way that protects the environment and will not have a negative impact on climate change. To achieve this, it will be necessary to change the way food is produced. Future technologies, system innovations, and unconventional raw materials are key to the expected transformation of the food system. These innovations range from sustainable food production to postproduction waste management.

Many technologies can transform the food sector. These include genetic engineering, microalga production and vertical farming, biodegradable polymer technology, and the breeding of insects as food and feed. There is a need to test and adopt new technologies so that they can be used throughout the food chain. Undoubtedly, some modern technologies need the support and acceptance of consumers by confirming their full safety.

The purpose of this Special Issue of Sustainability is to present original scientific articles as well as review articles on new technologies in the food system, unconventional food products, and waste management practices as well as consumer acceptance studies for the proposed solutions for food system transformation.
