In the era of sustainability, mushrooms are considered a promising candidate to achieve many of the SDGs tapped by UNO. In addition to serving as food, mushrooms hold immense potential for application across various sectors. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a deeper discussion and the establishment of strategies for achieving high-value, smart productivity through the use of advanced and cutting-edge technology. Moreover, unlocking the importance and different modes of utilization or exploration of mushrooms with a detailed emphasis on the development of healthy foods, increasing the value of agricultural and industrial by-products and natural pigments from mushrooms, and dealing with food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles is now a most urgent concern. The valorization of mushrooms in different sectors will bring a significant prospective revolution for sustainability, e.g., management of environmental pollution by using mushroom-based food packaging materials and appropriate utilization of the by-products.

Mushrooms for the Promotion of Health, Food Security and Circular Bioeconomy showcases various research endeavors aimed at addressing global hunger and food deprivation, and developing tools and techniques for smart agriculture. Readers will gain a deeper knowledge of the latest innovations in biomaterials, alternative rich diets, food processing, food packaging, sustainable and low-cost foods, and the emergence of mushroom-derived nanomaterials in this important sector. Furthermore, this book will recognize the innovative policies implemented by several nations to address the current restrictions on food demand and mushroom utilization, to achieve sustainable growth, protect the environment, and develop a bio-based economy for the future.
