It is estimated that 4 million metric tons of tree nuts are produced each year. These crops face particular challenges such as safety in the face of allergens and mycotoxin contamination. There is a need to increase production but in a more sustainable way in the face of climate change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection reviews the wealth of research addressing these challenges. Part 1 discusses the growing number of studies on the health benefits of tree nuts. Part 2 addresses safety issues. The remaining two parts assess advances in genetics and breeding of tree nuts, as well as advances in cultivation and the management of pests and diseases of tree nuts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its distinguished editors and international team of expert authors, this collection will be a standard reference for horticultural scientists and those working in forestry and agroforestry science, as well as government and other research centres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1 Improving health, safety and sustainability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.The nutritional and nutraceutical value of walnut: \u003ci\u003eTuran Karadeniz, Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University, Turkey; Faik Ekmel Tekintaş, Adnan Menderes University, Turkey; and Seyit Mehmet Şen, Kastamonu University, Turkey\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003cbr\u003e2.Advances in understanding the nutritional profile and health benefits of almonds: \u003ci\u003eÖzlem Tokuşoğlu, Celal Bayar University, Turkey\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003cbr\u003e3.Advances in understanding health benefits of hazelnuts: \u003ci\u003eLoretta Bacchetta, Silvia Procacci and Barbara Benassi, ENEA-Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development, Italy\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003cbr\u003e4.Uses and health benefits of chestnuts: \u003ci\u003eEduardo Augusto dos Santos Rosa, Maria Cristina Seixas Martins Morais, Ivo Vaz Oliveira, Berta Maria de Carvalho Gonçalves Macedo and Ana Paula Calvão Moreira da Silva, Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences (CITAB), University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), Portugal\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003cbr\u003e5.Advances in understanding health benefits of pistachio: \u003ci\u003ePablo Hernández-Alonso, Mònica Bulló and Jordi Salas-Salvadó, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003cbr\u003e6.Advances in detecting tree nut allergens: \u003ci\u003eStef J.
