Today, the concept of sustainability is highly emphasized. This concept means the determination of today's living standards and social order so that future generations will be able to find the resources and qualifications that meet the needs of nature. The concept of sustainability has three dimensions: social, economic and ecological.
The world's population is constantly rising. Energy prices are increasing. Greenhouse gases are experiencing climate change. Firms are often in conflict with social interests because they focus on land. All these conditions reveal how much sustainability is needed. In order to achieve this, while public pressure and people's demands are increasing, new regulations and environmental laws are enacted.
A number of environmental indicators, such as waste management, biodiversity, the use of natural resources and compliance with environmental laws, are traces of such efforts.
In the food sector, a number of agricultural raw materials are processed and converted into food products. In this process, there are many focal points such as energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, water and wastewater management, resource use and waste management and packaging.
High levels of chemicals are used in agriculture without considering human health and environment. This situation destroys nature. Chemicals are used during production to extend the shelf life of the products. Packaging waste is not considered at all. These are factors that destroy both human health and nature.
