This book delves into the critical intersections of food systems, sustainability, and resource management, exploring innovative approaches and research from various disciplines. With a focus on both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, the book addresses topics such as eco-labels, food waste quantification, bioactive food components, and the role of smallholder farmers in emerging e-marketplaces.

Divided into two core sessions, the book covers a wide range of topics essential to achieving sustainable food systems. The first session focuses on enhancing food supply chains, consumer behavior, and the development of nutritious, eco-friendly food products. The second session shifts towards resource management and the circular economy, providing cutting-edge research on biodegradable materials, biomass management, and the valorization of agricultural waste. Throughout the chapters, experts emphasize innovative practices in biorefineries, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and environmental policy.
