The rapid increase in global food
production has led to a significant amount of food waste, posing
multiple threats to the environment, animals, and human health. The
treatment of agricultural and food waste costs billions of dollars
annually. However, food waste also contains bioactive chemicals that can
be extracted and used in various industries, adding value to
agricultural and food production. Managing waste in an environmentally
responsible manner can turn waste into resources, such as using waste
materials as fertilizers in agriculture. By integrating by-product
recovery and utilization, new technologies can contribute to a more
sustainable food system and resource recovery. This book provides
valuable information on integrating urban and industrial by-product
recovery for increased resource utilization, making it useful for
professionals in the agricultural production and processing industries.
