The book "Future Crops and Processing Technologies for Sustainability and Nutritional Security" edited by Soumya Ranjan Purohit, Vasudha Sharma, Meena Kumari, Kasi Muthukumarappan, and Joanna Kane-Potaka, explores sustainable food processing technologies and the potential of emerging crops to enhance both sustainability and nutritional security. It emphasizes the importance of integrating advanced food processing techniques like 3D printing, cold plasma technology, and nonthermal processing to reduce environmental impact while improving food production efficiency. Additionally, the book discusses underutilized crops such as millets and legumes, which are resilient to climate change and require less water, as key contributors to a sustainable and nutrition-secure future. These emerging technologies and crops are framed as critical components in addressing food security and reducing the environmental impact of the global food system.
