Proceeding: Life cycle sustainability management of food manufacturing

Abstract

The growing need of our society for manufactured food products in combination with resource scarcity has led to more advanced production systems which manufacture more diverse manufactured food products. But are these products eco-efficient from a life cycle perspective when their overall supply chain is taken into account?

Aiming to provide some answers to this question, the environmental and economic impacts associated with the life cycle of industrially-produced food products will be quantified and analysed in order to identify a more eco-efficient and thus more sustainable way of food manufacturing.
