| Short description
Many books on sustainability that have emerged in the last decade have been written for agricultural systems, communities, and business in general. This handbook presents the concept of sustainability as adapted to the food industry. The core of the book discusses the concepts of sustainability management, including approaches on improving efficiency and on changing technology and managing the supply chain. Further covering the use of water, energy, emissions, wastes, and packaging, this handbook also includes a look into what the food factory of the future looks like.
