Full Description
New technologies have the potential to transform the agri-food industry by improving agricultural productivity. Recent innovations in this sector are making a useful contribution to environmental sustainability as well. This new book presents advanced methods and modern technologies in agri-food sectors to improve environmental health and food security on a global scale. It explores the principles of environmental sustainability and explains how these principles can be applied in practice in agri-food systems. It also provides an accessible framework for the effective management of resources for the reduction of chronic disease in humans and mitigating the degradation of the environment.
Key features:
Describes the key concepts of sustainable food production for scientists interested in the environmental impacts of agriculture
Reviews sustainable options to the industrial production methods used today to adopt healthier foods and lifestyles
Reports on sustainable resources for the food industry along with sustainable processes for food scientists of all levels, both in academia and industry
Explores technical innovations to connect the gap between a healthy environment and sustainable agriculture using the theories and principles set out in each chapter to address real-world problems
Presents case studies related to our growing demand for food from the perspectives of disciplines ranging from environmental science to public health
