This comprehensive and authoritative book aims to encompass the best and current practices in the field of contemporary food packaging. It covers various aspects of packaging, including challenges and their solutions, innovations, and environmental concerns. Written by experts working in the field, the content is supported by technical/statistical data, practical examples, case studies, and real-life experiences of academicians and professionals working in the area of food packaging. The book covers challenges in food packaging, systems and materials for packaging, packaging design requirements of the food industry, technology machinery and system, printing and graphics, testing and regulatory aspects, advanced and smart packaging, distribution and logistics in a globalized environment, and sustainable and green packaging. This book will be useful for Packaging Technologists, food scientists, material scientists, policy makers, students, and researchers.  

This book offers effective and competitive food supply chains that are the consequence of technological innovation, collaboration, small agri-food business cases, entrepreneurial opportunities, cold chain technology management, disruptive technologies, and performance assessment through empirical analysis, case studies, and multimethod research in the food industry. The book comprehensively covers different interfaces of the food supply chain including procurement, processing, distribution, consumer, i.e., farm to fork. It provides solutions to various challenges such as globalization, food recalls, technological innovations, and consumer trust. This book will be of interest to researchers in the areas of the food supply chain, operations management, industrial engineering as well as professionals in the agri-food and allied industry.

This book addresses the specialized topic of input-output models for sustainable industrial systems. While these models are well-established tools for economic analysis, their underlying mathematical structure is also applicable to the analysis and optimization of a wide range of systems that are characterized by linear interdependencies among their components. This means that input-output models can be used for diverse networks, such as processes within industrial plants, industrial plants in a supply chain, or departmental units within an organization. The models can also be readily extended to interactions between man-made systems and the environment, e.g. flows of natural resources and/or pollutants. Furthermore, model variants with excess degrees of freedom can be formulated to allow optimization and decision-making to be integrated within the framework. This book examines how input-output models can be applied to sustainable industrial systems. Each major variant is discussed separately in a dedicated chapter, and representative case studies and supporting LINGO code are also included.
