Produktbeschreibung

Sustainable Food Systems from Agriculture to Industry addresses the principle that the food supply needs of the present must be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Responding to the demands and goals of sustainability requires the maximum utilization of all raw materials produced and integration of activities throughout all the production-to-consumption stages. This book begins at the production stage, with activities to reduce postharvest losses and increase use of by-products streams (waste) and continues through food manufacturing and beyond, presenting insights to ensure that energy, water, and other resources are used most efficiently and environmental impacts are minimized. . Sustainable Food Systems from Agriculture to Industry presents the research and advancements in efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally food production and ways they can be implemented within the food industry. Filling the knowledge gap between understanding and applying these advancements, this team of expert authors from around the globe offer both academic and industry perspectives and a real-world view of the challenges and potential solutions that exist for feeding the world in the future. The book will guide industry professionals and researchers in ways to improve the efficiency and sustainability of food systems.
