The need for a more rational and careful use of environmental resources has been raised for some time, putting into judgment some of the current development models. Understanding the effects of environmental changes on the ecosystem is crucial to face emergent cultural issues that link with the increasing demand of food production.

The year of the pandemic, despite initial fears, was the year in which we did not go hungry and in which the food supply was guaranteed.
