Divided into five sections, Agri-Food Industry Strategies for Healthy Diets and Sustainability: New Challenges in Nutrition and Public Health provides an overview of the challenges and future perspectives related to nutrition, public health, and sustainability. The book addresses strategies to reduce fat, trans fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt consumption, while also exploring the manufacturing, safety, and toxicology of new food manufacturing.
This book examines commercial labeling and nutritional education, nutrigenomics and public health, and provides coverage of the valorization of waste and by-products from the food industry. Nutrition researchers and practitioners, food scientists, technologists, engineers, agronomists, food product developers, medical and public health professionals, and postgraduate students focused in food science and nutrition are sure to find this reference work a welcomed addition to their libraries.
- Contains innovative strategies to achieve a healthy diet through the design of new food products
- Provides comprehensive information related to agriculture, nutrition, food industry, government, and sustainable waste management and details their roles in addressing food waste
- Explores the ways in which innovative approaches, used to valorize and give an added value to agri-food waste and by-products, ensure the sustainability of the production process
- Presents nutritive education about reducing empty calories by lowering consumption of fats, sugars, and other high-calorie nutrients
- Delineates the roles of food industry and government in shaping the best policies for the general public and the design of new products
Nutrition researchers and practitioners, food scientists, food technologists, food engineers, agronomists, food product developers, medical and public health professionals, students of post-graduate courses focused on food science and nutrition
