Food (in)security: The role of novel foods on sustainability

Abstract

Food production today impacts heavily on the environment and available resources while at the same time failing to provide equal access to food security and healthy diets for everyone. To improve this situation, food production systems need to be redesigned in a more circular way, minimising food waste, developing new technologies, and exploiting novel biomasses for food production. Novel Foods are the consequence of this evolution and can play a pivotal role towards the target of providing sustainably produced, secure, and healthy food for everyone.
