This book examines the role of innovative food processing technologies in achieving sustainability and nutritional security. It emphasizes the importance of underutilized, climate-resilient crops such as millets and legumes, which require less water and cause minimal environmental impact. The book explores advanced technologies like 3D printing, novel drying methods, high-pressure processing, and nanotechnology, which aim to improve food quality, sustainability, and nutritional security. The comprehensive review offers insights into how these technologies can address global challenges such as resource scarcity, population growth, and climate change, making them critical to building a sustainable food future.
