Sustainability is beginning to transform the food industry with
environmental, economic and social factors being considered,
evaluated and implemented throughout the supply chain like never
before. Sustainability in the Food Industry defines
sustainability with a comprehensive review of the industry’s
current approach to balancing environmental, economic and social
considerations throughout the supply chain. In addition, tools and
information are provided to enhance future progress. To achieve
this, the book combines technical research summaries, case studies
and marketing information. Coverage includes sustainability as it
relates to: agricultural practices, food processing, distribution,
waste management, packaging, life cycle analysis, food safety and
health, environmental labeling, consumer insight and market demand,
product development, practices in food manufacturing companies,
food retailing and food service. An international group of authors
covers the information from a global perspective. Sustainability
in the Food Industry offers an overview of sustainable sources
of impact and improvement, how they relate to the key sectors of
the food industry and how programs may be implemented for further
improvement.
