Sustainable Development and Pathways for
Food Ecosystems: Integration and Synergies is a science-based reference
which explores the roles played by agri-food ecosystems, their
functions and needs, and the importance of the interdependencies among
them. This book explores the relationships between food ecosystems,
highlighting each entity's role in transforming, preserving, and
conserving the others. It is a vital resource of information on the
ecosystems that surround the food supply chain and includes all
processes, from primary production of food through consumption. The book
covers the agricultural and farming phases; processing and
transformation; storage and consolidation; packaging; transportation;
the management of waste and losses; and the supply and conservation of
enabling resources like materials, biodiversity, energy, and water.
Sustainable Development and Pathways for Food Ecosystems: Integration
and Synergies is a useful reference for academics, researchers,
policymakers, and industry professionals involved within the agri-food
sector management.
