Biosensors for Sustainable Food - New Opportunities and Technical
Challenges addresses the challenges associated with sustaining the
globally increasing demand for food that has been forecast for the
next centuries and the immediate need for the food production
system to adopt sustainable practices to protect the environment
and human health. It provides a comprehensive overview of
established, cutting-edge, and future trends in biosensor
technology and its application in the agrifood sector. In
particular, different biosensing advances are covered, outlining
the newest research efforts in the cross-disciplines of chemistry,
biology, and materials science with biosensing research, in order
to develop novel detection principles, sensing mechanisms, and
device engineering methods. Food production and consumption have a
strong impact on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas
emissions, water, and soil contamination, the reduction of arable
land, water consumption, and many other factors, which in turn,
negatively affect human health. These issues have consequences for
economic development, too. To address these challenges, it is
necessary for scientists with different expertise, policymakers,
and economists work together to develop new smart technologies and
introduce them to the market, along with adequate regulations. In
this regard, a sustainable food production system can be thought of
as a chain of procedures with a low impact on the environment that
guarantees a secured supply of healthier and fortified food while
supporting economic growth.
