Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food processes play a crucial role in sustainability as they impact various aspects of the environment, economy, and society. Sustainable food processes aim to minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve resources, support local communities, and ensure food security for future generations. This involves practices such as reducing food waste, using renewable energy sources, implementing efficient water management, promoting regenerative agriculture, adopting eco-friendly packaging, and supporting fair labor practices throughout the food supply chain. By integrating sustainability into food processes, we can work towards a more resilient and equitable food system that meets the needs of both present and future generations while minimizing harm to the planet.
This Special Issue aims to discover the latest advancements in food processing and their connection to sustainability. By exploring these new processes, we can gain valuable insights into the future of food technology. Join us in contributing to the growing body of knowledge related to food processing and innovative technologies.
The upcoming Special Issue will include research works, reviews, and short communications that cover various aspects of new and innovative technologies for food processing. These contributions aim to improve the quality, safety, and energy/resource efficiency of food manufacturing processes.
