This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the food industry is beginning to make headway with its sustainability initiatives, substantially more progress is needed in order to feed the world’s growing population sustainably. The challenge is that the topic of sustainability can seem overwhelming and there is limited information that is specific to the food industry. Written by an experienced food industry professional with years of experience in sustainability, The 10 Principles of Food Industry Sustainability inspires and informs the progress required to nourish the population, revitalize natural resources, enhance economic development, and close resource loops. The book makes this complex topic approachable and actionable by identifying the most pressing sustainability priorities across the entire food supply chain and showing, with tools and examples, how producers, processors, packers, distributors, marketers and retailers all play a role in advancing improvement. The book begins with an overview of the Principles of sustainability in the food industry: what they are and why they matter. Subsequent chapters focus on each of the Ten Principles in detail: how they relate to the food industry, their global relevance (including their environmental, health, and social impacts), and the best practices to achieve the potential of meaningful and positive progress that the Principles offer. Specific examples from industry are presented in order to provide scalable solutions and bring the concepts to life, along with top resources for further exploration. The Principles, practices, and potential of sustainability in the food industry covered in this book are designed to be motivating and to offer a much-needed and clear way forward towards a sustainable food supply.

This book was released on 2023-03-19 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, a considerable number of organizations are practicing green management from a global perspective. Many companies have now realized that there is a need to adapt to formal environmental practices and comply with international environmental standards due to growing global environmental concerns. This book organizes the concepts, processes, requirements and challenges related to quality management practices in a pragmatic approach to trigger the interests and readership of academicians and researchers. This study critically discusses quality management practices considering quality assurance, continuous process improvement, human resources management, benchmarking, management leadership, information and analysis and service design. If there is an increase in the global demand for sustainable products, then there could be a need for continuity in the capacity of the local and multinational companies to get certified. Therefore, this book considers quality management practices and ISO quality standards. This book reports the current trends of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 adoption in the Malaysian food and beverage industry. Pushing Malaysia towards the adoption of advanced quality practices has called for the critical analysis of quality management practices in the industries from a perspective of sustainability. Sustainability practices in manufacturing industries will both prevent internal economic and environmental damages and boost the economy by attracting international companies seeking investment related to the three bottom-line sustainability. This book also highlights the link between quality management practices and sustainability. In furtherance, quality management practices as antecedents of excellence are discussed and how excellence models in the manufacturing industry are important. This book highlights models such as European Foundation Excellence Model (EFQM) (1991), the Model of Peters and Waterman (1982), the Japanese Deming Award Model (1951), the Model of Malcolm Baldrige (1987), Leadership Excellence of Kanji, China Performance Excellence Model, and Malaysian Total Performance Excellence Model. This is good news for the future of quality professions and their alignments. Therefore, this book tightens the gap between academics and practitioners by providing solid insights into the relevant subjects and hopefully contributing to the knowledge of organizational excellence and quality managers who are leading 21st-century organizations and require excellence models for sustainability.

Download or read book Sustainable food consumption written by Elizabeth Sargant and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural and food consumption practices are the most important contributors to ecosystem degradation and climate change. Consumers are called on to take responsibility for sustainable development; to consider the environment in their everyday life, to choose more sustainably produced goods and services. However, often consumers are not directly involved in food production and preparation. Today many of the meals we eat are prepared by someone other than ourselves. In addition, environmental and social issues of food production might be important to us but they have to be weighed up against a range of situational and personal considerations. Thus 'making a sustainable choice' can be far from straightforward. This book explores the question 'how sustainable food consumption can be encouraged' using social practices theory. This approach focuses not on the individual behaviour of consumers, but on everyday food practices (like shopping for food, eating lunch at work, etc.) and their context. The book discusses how Dutch consumers engage in sustainable food consumption on an everyday basis, and how consumers with different grocery shopping practices differ in this engagement. A second study considers the sustainable development of food provisioning within business catering (food procurement and provisioning). Here we discover the importance of food professionals and the opportunities that canteens and kitchens offer to explore more sustainable ways of eating. Both studies illustrate how a context-oriented approach leads to insights on where we find leverage points for changing consumption patterns.
