Abstract
The pressure generated on the markets and agricultural resources due to the incessant increase in demand added to the importance that cereals and vegetable crops represent for the feeding of both human beings and animals has led to the search for new technologies that facilitate the global supply of agricultural foodstuff in the near future while attempting to reduce the carbon footprint derived from related activities. Plant proteomics could offer a solution to this technological challenge. Supported by research and development of new technologies, it would provide knowledge for the optimization of processes in the industry in search of profitability and sustainability. This chapter presents different approaches and techniques in the investigation of new methods for the development of vegetal crops and cereals. Recently, numerous studies focused on the control and improvement of food safety, the authenticity of products, or the study of diseases for better detection and protection of crops have seen the light. To take advantage of all this knowledge generated, it would be interesting to create a strategic plan that encourages the incorporation of new technologies and methods based on proteomics in the agri-food sector. In other words, bridge the gap between laboratory and industry to enhance all the benefits that proteomic tools can offer in solving real problems and improving productivity.
