Introductory note: Future of Agrofood sustainability -- Food sustainability challenges in the developing world -- The role of small-scale farms and food security -- Sustainability challenges, human diet and environmental concerns -- Sustainable challenges in the Agrofood sector: The environment food-energy-water nexus -- Dynamics of grain security in South Asia: Promoting sustainability through self-sufficiency -- Local food diversification and Its (Sustainability) challenges -- Sustainable supply chain management in Agri-food chains: A competitive factor for food exporters -- How logistics decisions affect the environmental sustainability of modern food supply chains: A case study from an Italian large-scale retailer -- Strengthening food supply chains in Asia: Challenges and strategies -- Revolutionizing food supply chains of Asia through ICTs -- Sustainability, materiality and independent external assurance: An exploratory study of the UK’s leading food retailers -- Environmental sustainability of traditional crop varieties: reviewing approaches and key issues for a multilevel evaluation -- Cradle-to-gate life cycle analysis of agricultural and food production in the US: A TRACI impact assessment -- Ensuring self-sufficiency and sustainability in the Agrofood sector: sustainability challenges in agriculture and modeling -- Sustainability challenges involved in use of nanotechnology in the Agrofood sector --
Sustainability of nutraceuticals and functional foods -- Innovation and sustainable utilization of seaweeds as health foods --Agrofoods for sustainable health benefits and their economic viability -- Sustainability challenges in food tourism --
Diversification, innovation and safety of local cuisines and processed food products: emerging issues and the sustainability challenges -- Soil health, crop productivity and sustainability challenges -- Analysing the environmental, energy and economic feasibility of Biomethanation of Agrifood waste: a case study from Spain -- Agricultural waste for promoting sustainable energy --
Membrane technology in fish-processing waste utilization: some insights on sustainability -- Sustainability issues, challenges and controversies surrounding the palm oil industry -- Sustainability challenges in the coffee plantation sector -- Food safety education: Training Farm Workers in the US fresh produce sector -- Sustainability challenges and educating people involved in the Agrofood sector.
"Agrofood sustainability is a key word in today’s world, and has prompted several novel and impressive research works globally. Communicating lab- of office-generated knowledge to local farming communities is an important part of dealing with the sustainability challenges faced by the agriculture and food sectors.
Sustainability Challenges in the Agrofood Sector presents the core aspects and challenges encountered in the Agrofood (or agri-food) sector, with a focus on the future of sustainability. Various multi-disciplinary aspects and a range of topics concerning the impact of environmental or climatic changes on the agriculture and food sectors are discussed, including: the food-energy-water nexus, supply chain management, food diversification, diet and human health effects, food wastes, sustainable food-processing technologies, food tourism, judicial and regulatory issues and educating consumers on the significance of sustainability. Written by leading experts in the field, each chapter addresses the realities of sustainable agriculture and food systems and discusses novel approaches to address the issues and challenges they throw up.
Sustainability Challenges in the Agrofood Sector is the most up-to-date and complete work published on this topic, providing researchers, graduate students, agri-food scientists, industrial professionals and policymakers with readily accessible reference material."--Back cover
