The performance of probiotic bacterial strains is influenced by the carrier food and its functional components which while buffering the probiotic through the gastro-intestinal tract, contribute to
This chapter aligns with Goal 2: Zero Hunger and Goal 13: Climate Action by projecting how stressors associated with climate change may impact agri-food systems and food security.

Emerging Issues in Climate Smart Livestock Production, Biological Tools and Techniques, 2022, Pages 71-90
This chapter covers strategies for greenhouse gas management in livestock production, while maintaining a high-yeild and safe food system.
In this review, we explore how agriculture is implementing the use of microbial inoculants (single species or consortia) to improve crop yields, and discuss current strategies to study plant-associated microorganisms and how their diversity varies under unconventional agriculture.
Fluorescent and non-fluorescent species of Pseudomonas are important for plant growth promotion, phytopathogenic control and plant disease management. Ecologically significant applications of Pseudomonas in biocontrol and bioaugmentation are crucial for maintaining food security.
African swine fever outbreak has caused serious economic losses in China. Consequently, pork supply faces huge demand. An effective biosafety procedure was developed for production of pigs in small-scale farms in China.
The present study is the first applications of the input-oriented stochastic distance function approach in estimating scale and scope economies using data of multi-crop farming households in Vietnam.
This editorial describes a Special Issue which has been created to inspire high-impact recent advancements on bioprospecting beneficial microorganisms as a sustainable strategy to warranty global food security.

Gregory Lazarev, Chapter 8 - Pastoralism as a response to climate change and water security in Mediterranean mountains and forests, Editor(s): Nadia El-Hage Scialabba, Managing Healthy Livestock Production and Consumption, Academic Press, 2022, Pages 123-127,
This content advances SDGs 12 and 13 by promoting responsible water resource consumption in pastoral lands and working with the environment rather than against it to raise livestock. Raising livestock responsibly and sustainably promotes SDG 2 for zero hunger as well.
The authors' goals of this study (associated with 13 dietary patterns or scenarios) are to assess 1) to what extent current food utilization in Indonesia (2 patterns) provides for meeting health and nutrition targets and how its GHGe (greenhouse gas emissions) and water footprints compare to global targets; and 2) how alternative dietary scenarios, optimized to meet nutrient needs at the lowest possible cost (7 scenarios) or designed to be more healthy and environmentally friendly (4 scenarios), compare to current food patterns for nutrient content, agricultural contributions to climate change, and freshwater conservation, as well as cost.
