Fruit and Vegetable Waste Utilization and Sustainability presents strategies to address the fruit and vegetable waste generated from agriculture and industrial processing.

Beginning with the introduction of waste management, this book is divided into three sections. Section one addresses the valorization of fruit and vegetable waste for high-value products. Section two focuses on the techno-economic and environmental impact assessment of fruit and vegetable waste biorefinery through real-life examples of the life cycle assessment. Section three presents integrated biorefineries, policies, and case studies.

This book is a valuable resource for food scientists, nutrition researchers, food industry professionals, academicians, and students in related fields.

Lists extensive definitions, case studies, and applications Includes information on the integration of processes and technologies for biorefinery conceptualization Addresses both agricultural and industrial fruit and vegetable waste

Sustainably Reducing Food Waste and Ensuring Food Security brings together academic professors, scientists, and policymakers from around the globe to address how to reduce food waste and increase access to nutritious food for all. By addressing the impact of waste-to-energy technologies, plant-based diets, alternative protein sources, and emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, the authors will provide practical guidance for anyone interested in the sustainability of the global food system and the entire food supply chain, from production to consumption.This book is divided into five sections. Section one introduces the concept of sustainable foods systems including the importance and benefits, Section two explores the economic, environmental and social impacts of understanding food waste, Section three provides solutions for food waste reduction, Section four explores sustainable agriculture and alternative food sources, and Section five covers the role of technology, data analytics, policy, and education and outreach in building a sustainable food system.

Explores in-depth coverage of sustainable food systemsAnalyzes plant-based diets and alternative protein sources to mitigate and manage carbon footprintOffers actionable strategies for building environmentally sound, equitable, and sustainable food systemsIdentifies sustainable practices and policies that can be used to manage food wasteDetails the importance of sustainable food systems, including the environmental and health impact of the food we consume

Malnutrition and poor diets are the leading cause of death and hospitalization worldwide. Millets have the potential to offer food, feed, fodder, nutrition and fuel security and are fast gaining prominence as the search for sustainable foods gains intensity. This work compiles the most recent developments and new achievements in millet cultivation pre-and-post-processing to harness the potential of all millet types. The advantages and limitations of different technologies and techniques are discussed including local food demands, government policies, environmental impacts and education in food processing.Millets: A Sustainable And Nutritious Crop is dedicated to millets use for functional food, covering farm to fork value addition, nutritional aspects, use in gluten free diets and specialty food applications. The text also covers the use of millet waste from primary processing waste to agri residue valorisation. Millet for feed, fodder, fuel and fertiliser are covered in full, including insights about agri-business models through millet waste valorisation. A major focus of this work is millet use for sustainability.  Millet cultivation is climate resilient, needs minimum water footprint and has a short duration. Sustainability practices, policies framework and regulations are covered in full.

This book discusses recent trends and concepts in the field of biorefinery. the first section presents strategies for the production of biofuels like bioethanol, biomethane, biohydrogen, bio-oil, gasification, etc., from the biomass in a sustainable way.
