Manuscript Topics

After a two-year period marked by the COVID 19 pandemic, the world is slowly returning to old challenges that are more relevant today than ever before, such as the ecological transition and the broader challenge of a sustainable transition in people's lifestyles. On both issues, the agri-food sector is the cornerstone of change. This is why, in recent years, the theme of Food has returned to the centre of public debate. Among the challenges that the world agri-food system has set itself, there are six that paint a clear picture:

• Reducing pollution and fighting the climate crisis
• Producing sustainable proteins
• Preserving forests and biodiversity
• Combating food loss and waste
• Fighting food insecurity and malnutrition
• Reducing the use of plastic

What can be done, concretely, to meet these challenges? Certainly we need to move from more production to better production, doing more with what we already have. Attempts at change can already be seen today, from more sustainable livestock production to the production of alternative natural protein sources, such as insects or plants, or synthetic, cultivated meat. This trajectory fosters connections between the agricultural world and technological and non-technological innovation providers, an increasingly focal link for this development through the support of public policies, such as the new European Common Agricultural Policy. There are also various attempts to produce food from what was once considered under-produced, trying to make the most of waste, in a circular and regenerative economy where the concept of waste no longer exists.

The challenge of the food of the future is wide and ambitious and with this Special Issue, we want to offer a space for a broad debate on the subject, therefore, manuscripts from various disciplines are welcome, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective.
