Cold plasma technology for sustainable food production: meeting the United Nations sustainable development goals

This review explores the multifaceted contributions of cold plasma technologies to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Throughout this examination, we established linkages between various aspects of cold plasma technologies and the SDGs. Furthermore, we elucidated the primary technologies utilized in cold plasma, including dielectric barrier discharge, vacuum, jet, and gliding arc plasma. Additionally, we evaluated cold plasma's contributions, advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. While cold plasma food processing directly addresses Zero Hunger, its impact extends beyond food preservation. This technology holds the potential to promote well-being by facilitating the production of healthy foods and inspiring optimism about the future of sustainable food production. Our exploration of this technology encompassed its role in addressing from Zero Hunger to No Poverty.
