Beschreibungen
<p>This book adds a new dimension to the sustainability assessment of food waste reduction and valorisation: policy analysis. Featuring a transdisciplinary analysis by key experts in the field, it identifies the drivers of change in food-waste reduction and valorisation technologies by looking, for example, at the regulatory framework and at policy actions undertaken by local and global actors.</p><p>The book explores the development of regulations and policies for food-waste prevention, management, and valorisation at a global as well as European Union level. It also discusses the notion of food waste in legal terms and investigates the effects of the lack of a standard, universal definition of food waste on the efficient use of by-products, promising processes and products for technological and commercial exploitation.</p><p>Utilising mathematical mapping methods to assess food consumption impacts and providing supply chain models that allow the testing of consumption scenarios, the book goes on to discuss a series of emerging technologies (tested at lab scale and/ or pilot scale) and opportunities for the valorisation of food waste.</p>
<div>Introduction.- Cutting through the challenge of improving the consumer experience of foods by enabling the preparation of sustainable meals and the reduction of food waste.- The Economic Case for the Circular Economy: From Food Waste to Resource.- Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions of meat products through food waste reduction. A framework for a sustainability assessment approach.- Fodder Legumes for Green Biorefineries: A Perspective for Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems.- Bio-waste lignin to soluble lignin-like polymers. An Italian municipal waste treatment plant as empirical case study for evaluating processes and applications for technological scale up and commercial exploitation.- Techno-economic study and environmental assessment of food waste based biorefinery.- Techno-economic evaluation of refining of food supply chain wastes for the production of chemicals and biopolymers.- Bio-based Economy: Policy Framework and Foresight Thinking.- Bringing a Sharing Economy Approach into the Food Sector: The Potential of Food Sharing for Reducing Food Waste.- Defining the Meaning of Food Waste as a Matter of Urgency.- Waste Reduction in Fresh Food Supply Chains: an Operations Research Approach.- Participatory Planning in Organic Solid Waste Management: A Backcasting Approach.- The role of social networks in the diffusion of bio-waste products: the case of mulching films derived from organic waste in Province of Foggia.- Grassroots innovations and the transition towards sustainability: Tackling the food waste challenge.<br></div>
<p>Editors and contributors work at the interface between innovation, agricultural economics, engineering and chemistry, studying from various perspectives innovative waste valorisation activities for sustainability transition to a biobased economy.</p><p></p>
