Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, poor nutrition is the leading cause of diseases with higher health care costs. According to the USDA, in the United States of America this feeding problem is associated with more than half a million deaths per year. The current epidemics of obesity, diabetes, anxiety, depression, and those caused by microorganisms and viruses, such as the recent pandemic of COVID-19, have been caused in large part by environmental influences. Moreover, food production and its relationship with environmental alterations have an impact on the human health. For this reason, it is of great importance that the various sectors related to the food chain (government, academia, and industry) work together in order to guarantee food and nutrition security.
This Special Issue on “Foods and One Health” is seeking original and high-quality papers focusing on the latest advances in the development and production of healthy foods and their environmental impact on human health. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Human dietary compounds and environmental health;
- Nutrition and public health;
- Food safety and animal-derived food products;
- Food and nutrition security;
- New diets and their impact on human health;
- Nutraceutical and functional foods;
- Plant-based nutrition;
- Prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics;
- Superfoods;
- Sustainable food production;
- Traditional and endemic foods.
