Coordinated by José Pío Beltrán, the case study analysed how biotechnology helps us address the current environmental challenges. Illustrated by a Valencian artist José Saborit and centered around the biotechnological strategies to obtain these plants in future, the case study is based on the findings of experts, including a senior scientist of CSIC at the Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology of Valencia, Concha Gómez Mena; a researcher of Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology, Diego Orzáez; a professor at the National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Technology, Juan Carlos del Pozo; researchers at the Department of Plant Molecular Genetics of the Spanish National Centre for Biotechnology, Selena Giménez-Ibáñez; the head of Nuclèol lab, F. Javier Medina; and a researcher of Plant Cell Proliferation and Microgravity at the Biology Research Centre, Margarita Salas.

The issue includes the following articles: “Árboles en la Ciudad” (“Trees in the City”) by Carles Dolç, a senior architect specialising in urbanism; “Ahogados en Plástico” (“Suffocated in Plastic”) by Balma Albalat Oliver, an environmental technician and an educator; and “¿Conseguirá la Ciencia Alimentarnos a Todos?” (“Will Science Manage to Feed Us All?”) by a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachussets Institute of Technology Wesley Leoricy Marques. It is also important to outline the sections like “Monstruos Invisibles” (“Invisible Monsters”), in which Alma Bracho, an evolutionary geneticist and a researcher in the field of Genomics and Health at the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of Valencia Region (FISABIO), presents “En Invierno, las Serpientes Duermen” (“The Snakes Sleep in Winter”) about the current coronavirus.
