Reviews
“Presents new methods and technologies to combat the problems associated with food waste management and focuses on the importance of integrated waste management approaches in minimizing the ill effects on the environment. The technologies related to waste treatment are economical, eco-friendly, and bring economic returns, and can be applied to most of the developing countries where waste treatment technologies are composting, anaerobic digestion, recycling of plastic, and agricultural waste in construction. . . . This book can also be a great source for designing and operating waste reuse and recycling programs.”
—From the Foreword by Prof. H. R. Naik, Dean Research, IUST, Awantipora, Jammu and Kashmir, India

Food wastage has become a major problem with about one-third of all food produced for human consumption going to waste, leading to major socioeconomic and environmental consequences in an increasingly resource-constrained world. This volume embraces integrated management as a solution to food and agricultural wastage. It presents methods to lessen, reuse, recycle, and manage wastage by merging and employing a variety of suitable methods, equipment, and organizational plans.

The volume begins with a global overview of the characterization of food and agricultural wastes. It then delves into using food processing applications that use byproducts as sources of valuable bioenergy and recoverable products. Chapter authors explore the various methods for reducing, reusing, and recycling of waste along with basic and modern environmental practices for food and agricultural waste management.
Other chapters consider the issue of food waste management in conjunction with enhancing food security and sustainability and management strategies that offset the impact of food and agricultural wastes on the environment. Finally, the book looks at the challenges and opportunities that are associated with food and agricultural waste management across the globe.

This valuable book, Integrated Waste Management Approaches for Food and Agricultural Byproducts, provides a host of innovative and integrated waste management techniques for researchers, scientists, policymakers, faculty and students, and others that address the vast problem of food and agricultural waste across the globe.
