"Addresses and presents approaches to diminish the environmental impact of agro-food industries and food consumption while also supporting professionals and enterprises that aspire to improve efficiences within the industry. Environmental Impact of Agro-Food Industry and Food Consumption covers trends associated with the impact of food production on the environment, using a life cycle analysis and standard methods to estimate the environmental impact of the food industry. The book discusses the environmental impacts of feeding crops to poultry and pigs, organic agriculture, the confectionary and dairy industry, cheese, ice cream and pasta production, the tea consumption chain, and foods refrigeration. Also discussed are food waste and consumption in hospitality and global diets. Written for food scientists, technologists, engineers, chemists, environmentalists, environmental technologists, and academics and professionals working in the food industry, Environmental Impact of Agro-Food Industry and Food Consumption is an essential resource on sustainability in the food industry"--Page 4 of cover

Our diets are going to change dramatically as global warming affects growing seasons and the availability of different foods around the world. Meanwhile, our foodways are among the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. To address these challenges Food in a Changing Climate demands we look beyond our plates to the roots of inequity in our food systems. It presents an unashamedly political agenda for 'deep adaptation', focused on the rejuvenation and strengthening of local and regional food systems that have been steadily eroded in the name of economic efficiency. The colonial origins of fossil-fuel based food production and trade persist in the marginalisation of farmers, food workers, and fishers in a corporatized food system that promotes the exploitation of the environment, excess production, and hyper-consumerism. These factors contribute to climate change, poverty, and health inequities on a global scale. Drawing on case studies from around the world, this book illustrates how the commodification of food has made us particularly vulnerable to climate change, extreme weather events, and pandemics such as COVID19. These shocks reveal the danger of our reliance on increasingly complex supply chains - dominated by a decreasing number of mega-companies - for our food security. The unsustainability of the way we produce and eat food is clear. It has been for a long time. Food in a Changing Climate explores how we can cultivate resilient communities through the just application of new technologies, the recovery of traditional knowledges, and by building diversity to protect the livelihoods of food producers everywhere.
