Sustainability in Food Technology
As the global population increases up to 9.7 billion by 2050, the food industry is challenged to ensure enough food to sustain human population. By looking closely into this issue, technology is playing an important role in finding solutions to today’s food production problems. There are four main goals in sustainable food development which include ending hunger, achieving food security, improving food nutrition and promoting sustainable production. Therefore, as food scientist, technologist and engineer we could promote innovative food technology to support the food sustainability development goals. For instance, development of probiotic beverages to functional food that could provide sustainable health solutions, design of new food system that could minimize food consumption while maximizing the nutrient content of food, recycling of food waste into biofuels and biochemical that could reduce environmental impact, innovation in food technology tools such as urban farming tools and environmental friendly food solutions, and many more to come. There are no limits when it comes to innovation. It is now important for us to start thinking towards sustainability in food technology and what we can do to help our future generations.
