Produktbeschreibung
The organic products market is experiencing rapid growth. This surge can be attributed to consumer perception of organic products as healthier options with better nutritional profiles compared to conventional products. Furthermore, organic production is gaining global significance beyond just human health considerations. It is increasingly viewed as a potential alternative to conventional agriculture due to mounting concerns over environmental sustainability, food safety, animal welfare, and biodiversity conservation. In developed countries, the demand for organic products is increasing steadily, and a significant part of the food consumed comes from organic sources. The increase in the production and consumption of organic foods has made it one of the most important research topics in recent years.

Organic Food Production: Innovation and Sustainable Practice provides comprehensive insights into various aspects of organic foods, including their production processes, certification procedures, regulatory frameworks, global market dynamics, and consumer preferences and acceptance. Additionally, the book offers valuable analyses of how organic foods impact the environment and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals.

Key Features

  • Includes a comprehensive view of various aspects of organic foods
  • Provides insights into how organic foods contribute to sustainable goals
  • Helps readers understand the differences between organic and conventional foods
  • Provides a deep understanding of consumer behavior toward organic foods

Autorenporträt
José Manuel Lorenzo is Head of Research at the Meat Technology Centre of Galicia (CTC), Ourense, Spain and Associate Professor at the University of Vigo. He has a degree in Food Science and Technology from the University of Vigo (1995-2000). In 2005-2006 from October to March, he completed his training with a predoctoral stay at the Stazione Sperimentale per L¿Industria delle Conserve Alimentaria (Parma, Italy). He obtained his Ph.D. in Food Science and Technology (University of Vigo) in 2006. He has started his scientific career in the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of Vigo, first as a researcher scholarship, then, since April 2006, as an academic researcher. In 2007 joined the CTC staff, developing since then an intense collaboration with the industrial sector, private companies, and research institutions as PI of several projects of R&D and innovation in the Food Science area, with an emphasis on Healthier and Functional Foods development. His desire to be continuously trained has led him to make two international stays for two months each at the University de São Paulo (Brazil) and the University of Bari (Italia) in 2016 and 2018, respectively. These stays allowed him to strengthen international relations for future collaborations in calls for European and International projects, as well as the cooperation in training programs for research and technical personnel. Nowadays, he leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers and technicians at CTC. His main research lines are (i) Reduction of additives in meat products; (ii) Development of new healthier meat products; (iii) Use of agri-food industries by-products as potential sources to obtain valuable and bioactive compounds; (iv) Use of emerging and green technologies (supercritical fluid extraction and pulsed electric fields) for the recovery of biologically active compounds from several plant matrices and by-products; (v) Incorporation of bioactive compounds and development of functional foods; and (vi) Use of active packaging to protect foods against oxidative degradation.
