Special Issue Information
The global population is rapidly growing, causing an overpressure on natural resources as water and arable surfaces for agriculture and pasture, leading to adverse consequences for human population and ecosystems.

(1) Characterization of food and agro-food by-products;
(2) Alternative foods produced according to sustainable procedures;
(3) By-products as new food ingredients;
(4) Studies regarding zero residues strategies.
