In this context, it is proposed to generate a Third Pathway for Agriculture, not
only organic and not only conventional. It will be necessary to pursue efforts to
develop new strategies for food production using the necessary knowledge accumulated from different disciplines. For instance, applications of metabolitesinducer factors (MIFs) to increase nutraceuticals, biological control strategies,
greenhouses with appropriate climate control, recycling food production residues,
etc. Taking into account all the aforementioned aspects this book, Biosystems
Engineering: Biofactories for Food Production in the Century XXI, is an attempt
to depict researches from several experts in the proposed fields, in order to get a
vision related to this new proposal for food production.
