Food is one of the most traded goods, and conflict in Ukraine, European breadbaskets, has triggered a significant additional disruption global food supply chains after COVID-19 impact. The to output, chains, availability, affordability could have long-standing As result, availability wide range raw materials finished products are under threat, markets seen recent increases prices. Furthermore, Russian-Ukrainian adversely affected with effects on production, sourcing, manufacturing,...
Tristram Stuart, London, Penguin Books, 2009, 480 pp., £9.99 (paperback), ISBN 978-0-14103-634-2 In my opinion, Stuart's investigation has been written for anyone who wants to understand t...
Whey has several environmental risks if disposed of as waste in watercourses. However, there are numerous valorisation techniques to convert it into valuable and highly nutritious products. Techniques such membrane filtration may be utilised, but these not applicable all categories whey. Novel methodologies that agile enough deal with whey variability can produce valorised This review assesses the capability processing techniques, applications methodologies, discussing pertinent research...
The aim of this study was to determine the response photosynthetic carbon metabolism in spinach and bean low temperature. (a) Exposure warm-grown plants 10 degrees C for days resulted increases total activities a number enzymes, including ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), stromal fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase (Fru 1,6-P(2)ase), sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphatase (Sed 1,7-P(2)ase), cytosolic Fru 1,6-P(2)ase. In spinach, but not bean, there an increase activity sucrose-phosphate...
Summary This article explores the impact of ‘Quadruple Whammy’ consisting Brexit, COVID‐19, Conflicts (Russia‐Ukraine and Israel‐Palestine) Natural disasters on food supply chain in Europe. research adopted a two‐phase methodology comprised e‐Delphi technique followed by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analyses) approach within context these four identified challenges. The objective this is to analyse challenges faced European due factors. examines political...
Abstract The rise of food security up international political, societal and academic agendas has led to increasing interest in novel means improving primary production reducing waste. There are however, also many ‘post-farm gate’ activities that critical security, including processing, packaging, distributing, retailing, cooking consuming. These all affect a range important elements, notably availability, affordability other aspects access, nutrition safety. Addressing the challenge...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to define the sustainability attributes frozen and fresh food consumption in a typical household. reason for writing that preservation often overlooked when developing strategies. Design/methodology/approach This study uses established carbon footprint data specific types consumer survey determine how consumers use products home. Consumption waste 83 households was obtained using combination narrative graphical association questions. Findings results...
Processes that utilise low-value wastes and convert them to high-value food ingredients systemically add value across commercial operations. Current common disposal options include use as animal feed, anaerobic digestion, composting, incineration, the worst-case of landfill wastewater disposal. The pressure is acute with manufacturers needing align UN Sustainable Development Goals reach targets zero waste landfill. This research identifies black soldier fly larvae a bioreactor converts most...
Summary This study addresses the critical need to report original and current findings on global food system's ability meet growing natural resource demands of an estimated 9 billion population. The objective is provide guidance for researchers in developing strategies reduce climate change risks beverage supply. To achieve this, we propose integrating innovative industry insights digital applications into existing system models as industrial demonstrators. Our research encompasses six...
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the relationship between food preservation and reducing consumer waste value in developing sustainable meal options. research reports insights into Austrian marketplace for frozen fresh foods that have been obtained from a survey.The survey methodologies indicate how can change planning lower across ambient purchases using freezing methods.The results show be reduced by six-fold when are compared with foods.This study highlights requirement greater...
Huge advances in peer-to-peer systems and attempts to develop the semantic web have revealed a critical issue information across multiple domains: absence of interoperability. Today, businesses operating digital environment require increased supply-chain automation, interoperability, data governance. While research on interoperability has recently received much attention, dearth studies investigates relationship between these two concepts depth. To address this knowledge gap, objective study...
Summary The development of a decarbonised food industry will depend on sustainable agricultural system where embodied product greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) can be associated with production. method presented demonstrates how mapping agri‐production used to calculate regional carbon footprints so GHG emission reduction is geographically strategic. Different agronomic and husbandry outcomes are mapped using Geographic Information Systems (GIS's) calculated Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)...
While we state it seems unthinkable to throw away nearly a third of the food produce, still continue overlook that are all very much part this problem because consume meals. The amount wasted clearly has an impact on our view what think sustainable meal is and research suggests waste universal function can help us determine sustainability diets. Achieving in systems depends utilisation both culinary skills knowledge how foods make These overlooked by current debate concerned with...
The photosynthetic capacity of leaves N-sufficent plants Spinacia oleracea L. increases following transfer a constant temperature 10°C for 10 d compared to maintained at 25°C. effects nitrogen nutrition on this low acclimation have been investigated in respect CO2 assimilation, the activities and activation states key enzymes partitioning recently fixed carbon. N-deficiency greatly restricted assimilation both ambient saturating concentrations, indicating restriction accilmatory changes...
Acclimation of spinach plants grown at 25°C to a temperature 10°C for 10 d resulted in an increased capacity leaf photosynthesis saturating light and CO2 but not ambient concentrations. Gas exchange chlorophyll fluorescence measurements indicated that acclimation was accompanied by the regeneration ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. Changes starch, soluble carbohydrates activities sucrose-P synthase ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase were measured during process. There initial increase starch sucrose...
Pressure points in global food supply where resilience chains can be limited or controlled are the equivalent of Critical Control Points safety systems. The approach using critical control provide insights for nutritional improvement, sustainable trade and waste reduction. pressure determine provision a secure system outcomes reducing their criticality identified UN Sustainable Development Goals other international programmes. These seek to reduce climate change impact improve public health...
Food systems contribute to up 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and emissions are increasing. Since the vary greatly between different foods, citizens' choices can make a big difference climate change. Public engagement events opportunities communicate these complex issues: raise awareness about impact own food on change generate support for changes in all system activities, environment policy. This article summarises findings from our 'Take Bite Out Climate Change' stand at two UK...
