Fungal Biology and Biotechnology is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'The Importance of Fungi in Securing and Threatening Food Supply For a Growing Human Population.' This Collection aims to highlight advances in our understanding of the significant role of fungi in diverse aspects of food production.
Fungal Biology and Biotechnology is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'The Importance of Fungi in Securing and Threatening Food Supply For a Growing Human Population.'
This Collection aims to highlight advances in our understanding of the significant role of fungi in diverse aspects of food production, including as food themselves or as meat replacement, as major players in modifying natural products for human consumption, sources of enzymes, and vitamins and how they maintain soil fertility. Moreover, we also encourage contributions investigating the importance of fungi for food safety, including the detection and prevention of food spoilage, mitigation of mycotoxins in food commodities and their role in threatening food security, including potential risks and strategies to tackle crop losses due to fungal pathogenicity.
