Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The general consumer population relies heavily on the commercial food industry to supply diversified food products across the globe. However, the impacts of food processing and manufacturing activities are not all positive. That being said, the negative impacts could be minimized when key players focus on reducing their environmental footprint. Players across the food industry are stepping up to the challenge, finding greener ways to minimize these impacts and support the planet’s capacity to continue producing food in a more sustainable manner. The incorporation of artificial intelligence, ethical manufacturing, clean labelling, and smart logistics into the food manufacturing industry has been promoted for the purpose of providing transparency, maximum nutritional benefits to the consumer, and ensuring food safety and public health protection.
