"This book will address the main aspects associated with sustainable engineering applied to the food industry. In addition, the chapters will elucidate the transition between conventional technologies and recent technological changes applied to the food industry. Associated with this transition, new views projected on the food industry will be discussed, aiming at the consolidation of sustainable industrial systems. Also, there is a compilation of information about the next generation of sustainable food, as well as issues associated with political, social, economic, and environmental criteria"--

Smart Food Industry: The Blockchain for Sustainable Engineering, Volume II - Current Status, Future Foods, and Global Issues reviews the literature and scientific frameworks to present a kind of sustainability compass. Disruptive approaches around potential sustainable foods are also widely investigated in order to be an alternative route for the industrial future. Thus, this book proposes new concepts and strategies to face future sustainability challenges that are on the horizon and can impact the next generation of foods.

Divided into three parts, this book discusses the (i) status of sustainable food industry, (ii) next generation and future technology for sustainable foods, and (iii) policy, social, economic, and environmental aspects in food industries.

Given the book's breadth, it provides readers with an invaluable reference resource for students, researchers, graduates, and professionals, in general, who wish to gain knowledge about the engineering and food processing area so as to achieve sustainable food production.
