About the book

The correlation between worldwide megatrends and the lasting impact of advancements in food safety and food security embodies the concept of emerging patterns in traceability, encompassing the entire supply chain from agricultural production to consumption, with universal relevance. Food protection entails the integration of food safety and security principles. Food safety ensures that food, when prepared and/or consumed for its intended purpose, does not cause harm to consumers. Meanwhile, food security, as defined by the 1996 World Food Summit, refers to the state in which all individuals have consistent access to an adequate supply of safe and nutritious food, enabling them to maintain good health and an active lifestyle. Access to safe food is considered a fundamental human right, irrespective of geographical location, social standing, or availability of hypermarkets or local food sources. Agricultural sustainability encompasses factors related to climate change, post-harvest practices, stability, and biosecurity. Biosecurity is a comprehensive and coordinated method of assessing and controlling hazards that pertain to the well-being of humans, animals, and plants, as well as the environment. Ensuring the sustainability of food safety requires rigorous compliance with preliminary programs, best practice guidelines, hygiene regulations, HACCP, relevant standards (such as Codex Alimentarius, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, IFS, BRC, and GFSI), and legislation. A world-class food safety program encompasses a comprehensive strategy for managing food safety and safeguarding consumer health. The objective of this book will be to compile the most relevant chapters on sustainable strategies in the global food chain, covering production, processing, logistics, and sales operations.
