Next Generation Food Crops for Human Health
暫譯: 下一代食品作物與人類健康

隨著全球人口激增，滿足世界的糧食需求變得越來越迫切。要達成這一目標，需要將作物產量翻倍，並提供安全、營養且價格合理的食物，但目前的農業實踐在應對營養不良、氣候變化影響以及食物多樣性下降方面仍顯不足。

《人類健康的下一代食品作物》深入探討了基因和基因組研究的進展，這些進展正在徹底改變生產高產、營養豐富的食品作物的發展。書中介紹了包括高通量表型學、高通量DNA測序和基因組選擇等工具，這些工具使科學家能夠發現功能性特徵基因並增強主食作物，如穀物、豆類、水果、蔬菜和油料作物。通過利用這些技術，研究人員正在創造一代新的食品，優化從複雜碳水化合物和蛋白質到維生素和生物活性化合物的基本營養素。

本書是《下一代農業：新概念與創新策略》系列中的一卷，對於致力於改善全球營養安全的研究生、博士後研究人員和政策制定者來說，具有重要價值。
