Recent strategies in synthetic food production for sustainable food security: applications and challenges.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Due to rapid growth in population, instability in conventional agricultural production, and depletion of natural resources, currently, there is huge pressure to fulfill the demands for nutritious, safe, and cheaper food. Environmental changes have also impacted the livestock, forestry, aquaculture, and fisheries production in a variety of ways that may result in adverse health outcomes, trade disruption, compromised livelihoods, and negative economic effects. Recent technological development in synthetic food production has proven to be a transformative solution for the safe, nutritious, qualitative, and quantitative sustainable food requirements. The aim of this review is to address the need and explore recent technological innovations in cell, tissue, and stem culture technologies; genetically modified organisms (GMO); microbial fermentation technology; plant protein engineering using synthetic biology; artificial intelligence and digital technologies for the production of synthetic foods, such as cultured meat, artificial sweeteners, microbial proteins, novel fats, fortified and synthetic dairy products, and functional food ingredients with enhanced nutritional profiles and scalable production potential. The review will also explore the applications of synthetic foods in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, food preservatives, and food additives, highlighting their significant role in improving human health. The findings of this review paper suggest that the development of synthetic food products could be a promising food resource toward resilient global food systems for the growing population. Although significant progress has been made in synthetic food production, it faces many challenges, such as high production costs, a lack of technological optimization, regulatory complexities, and safe use of synthetic foods. Also, for the successful commercialization of synthetic food products, there is a need to develop advanced technology to reduce the production cost and encourage legislative frameworks and public involvement.
