Special Issue on Food Safety and Sustainable Practices

Food Safety and Sustainable Practices focuses on the intersection of protecting public health and ensuring long-term environmental and resource sustainability within food systems. This theme addresses the need for safe production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food while minimizing ecological impact, reducing waste, and promoting responsible agricultural and manufacturing methods. As global populations grow and climate challenges intensify, integrating innovative technologies, regulatory frameworks, and eco-friendly practices becomes essential for building resilient and ethical food systems that ensure both safety and sustainability for future generations.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Food Safety and Sustainable Practices. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Food microbiology
• Food chemistry
• Food toxicology
• Risk assessment
• Food hygiene
• Food inspection
• Supply chain management
• Agricultural sustainability
• Organic farming
• Post-harvest technology
• Food processing
• Packaging innovation
• Waste reduction
• Climate-smart agriculture
• Nutrition and public health
• Regulatory compliance

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
