FOOD INDUSTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENT - J M DALZALL...

All areas of industry are facing increasing pressure from governments and consumers to be more
environmentally aware. The food industry is no exception  and an increasing number of companies
have made the decision to implement an environmental policy. These organisations will benefit
from this book  which has been written to provide a broad but detailed introduction to the
topic of environmental issues and their cost implica tions to the food industry. Throughout the
text the authors have approached the subject from a practical angle  and have borne in mind the
environmental  production or site manager who is grappling with the problem of how to implement
such a policy. This book begins by considering the raw materials that are used in the food
industry  whether derived from animals  fruit and vegetables  or the products of genetic
engineering  as may increasingly be the case in the future. Environmental and cost
considerations of food processing opera tions are then examined  encompassing energy
conservation and the con trol of air  noise and water pollution  all topics that are uppermost
in the priorities of the environmental manager. The finished food product also has an impact on
its environment  and so the storage  distribution and packaging of foods  post food factory  is
discussed in detail. Finally  the principles involved in management accounting for food
industry environ mental issues are highlighted. All the authors of this book are respected
experts in their chosen field  each of whom could have written a complete book on their
subject.
