- Climate change and the global population increase puts food security and food safety under threat. Moreover, the unsustainability of the current dietary habits needs urgent attention and more sustainable patterns have to be adopted to allow the access to food sources for all. In this context, scientific innovations in chemistry, microscopy, analytical methodology and many other food science-related disciplines are pivotal for the design of new healthy foods that are produced under sustainable and environment friendly conditions, while they ensure food safety.
