Future Crops and Processing Technologies for Sustainability and Nutritional Security

Our current food system faces challenges across the board - from ensuring food security and reducing environmental impact to managing costs and minimizing waste. Fortunately, cutting-edge food processing technologies play a critical role in paving the way for a more sustainable future. Taking a two-track approach, Future Crops and Processing Technologies for Sustainability and Nutritional Security presents sustainable technologies and emerging crops that are capable of ensuring nutritional security. There are various crops that are nutritious, but under-utilized. Crops covered are those that are climate resilient and exhibit less use of water and zero discharge to environment, such as millets, legumes like chickpea, groundnuts, and pigeon pea. This book also provides information on all aspects related to the processing and use of sustainable technologies and crops. The use of novel technologies like, 3D printing, novel drying method, high pressure processing, high voltage treatments and proper combination of conventional methods are addressed--
