    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Sustainability is beginning to transform the food industry with environmental, economic and social factors being considered, evaluated and implemented throughout the supply chain like never before. Sustainability in the Food Industry defines sustainability with a comprehensive review of the industry's current approach to balancing environmental, economic and social considerations throughout the supply chain. In addition, tools and information are provided to enhance future progress. To achieve this, the book combines technical research summaries, case studies and marketing information. Coverage includes sustainability as it relates to: agricultural practices, food processing, distribution, waste management, packaging, life cycle analysis, food safety and health, environmental labeling, consumer insight and market demand, product development, practices in food manufacturing companies, food retailing and food service. An international group of authors covers the information from a global perspective. Sustainability in the Food Industry offers an overview of sustainable sources of impact and improvement, how they relate to the key sectors of the food industry and how programs may be implemented for further improvement.

    "This work provides a practical, industry-led alternative to works like Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (2008) and is a much-needed update to Patricia Allen's important Food for the Future: Conditions and Contradictions of Sustainability (Wiley, 1993)."(CHOICE, December 2009) "Sustainability in the Food Industry reviews the industry's current approach to balancing environmental, economic and social considerations throughout the supply chain." (Food Manufacture, April 2009) "The book combines technical research summaries case studies and marketing information to provide insight about sustainability as it relates to agricultural practices food processing distribution waste management packaging life cycle analysis food safety and health environmental labeling consumer insight and market demand product development practices in food manufacturing companies food retailing and food service."
