Preface
The explosive human population around the globe leads to hunger and poverty, especially in developing countries. Moreover, the reduction in land area for crop cultivation due to urbanization and land degradation leads to starvation particularly in economically backward countries. In the resource-limited setting, malnutrition (deficiencies in micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A) and food insecurity are the major risk factors that should be addressed. Therefore, it’s important to enhance the food production with high nutritive value to resolve hunger and malnutrition. In addition, the climatic and various biotic factors, namely, bacteria,
