Sustainability in food processing, supply chains, and packaging is essential for mitigating environmental impact and ensuring the long-term health of our planet. Food-processing methods that minimize energy consumption, reduce waste, and utilize renewable resources play a critical role in this endeavor. With brands like Cabot Creamery announcing plans to switch to sustainable packaging, what does this mean for consumers, companies, and our planet?
Join Hanyu Chen, postdoctoral researcher in the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, as she discusses sustainability as it relates to all aspects of food processing and why it’s such a critical issue. Dr. Chen will help us understand the ways in which organizations are working to be more sustainable when it comes to the food we eat, what we throw away, and the packaging that it comes in.
