Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medicinal plants and their preparation continue to play an important role in the health of the world population.

As technological advances including artificial intelligence are tackled, new tools and challenges are being defined to be employed in the exploitation of these increasingly scarce natural resources.
In this Special Issue, original research papers, perspectives, hypotheses, opinions, reviews, modeling approaches, and methodologies related to recent advances and prospects of advancing knowledge of the production, quality, safety, and efficacy of medicinal plants and their respective preparations are welcome, with particular emphasis on the application of methods that facilitate and accelerate the obtention and certification of these natural resources in a more sustainable way.
