Obesity is a multifactorial and complex disease. The causes of obesity are really variated, diet, physical activity and, ultimately, lifestyle play a fundamental role. The relationship between these factors and obesity development are modulated by large number of varied individual parameters, such as the genome, epigenome, microbiome, metabolome, transcriptome and resulting interactomes. Emerging scientific knowledge has manifested the importance of considering most of these factors and individual parameters in developing dynamic and accurate nutritional recommendations. In this context, the term Precision Nutrition is key, a new approach to integrate internal and external environmental factors. This Special Issue aims to provide a thorough overview of research progress on Precision Nutrition, exploring new factors that could modulate the energy balance, adiposity and variety of obesity related alterations, for instance diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.

This is the 5th edition of a well-established book Principles of Plant Nutrition which was first published in 1978. The same format is maintained as in previous editions with the primary aim of the authors to consider major processes in soils and plants that are of relevance to plant nutrition.This new edition gives an up-to-date account of the scientific advances of the subject by making reference to about 2000 publications. An outstanding feature of the book, which distinguishes it from others, is its wide approach encompassing not only basic nutrition and physiology, but also practical aspects of plant nutrition involving fertilizer usage and crop production of direct importance to human nutrition. Recognizing the international readership of the book, the authors, as in previous editions, have attempted to write in a clear concise style of English for the benefit of the many readers for whom English is not their mother tongue. The book will be of use to undergraduates and postgraduates in Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry and Ecology as well as those researching in Plant Nutrition.
