• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Sustainability is an important issue facing food security and safe food production today. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, this research-oriented volume explores integrated, context-specific approaches to food security and food safety and examines the measures needed to guarantee long-term sustainability of the food supply chain by reviewing the existing data to encourage action and identify knowledge gaps. It also provides a detailed account of the impacts of the food supply chain along with the basic concepts of environmental sustainability. This new volume provides insight into effective policy development and implementation along with innovative validated approaches on how to develop sustainable food for a growing world population.
