Climate Awareness in Food Manufacturing
Sustainable practices in food manufacturing are essential for reducing waste, conserving resources, and ensuring food security.” — Laura Green, Food Sustainability Specialist, GreenEats Ltd.
This course is designed to equip professionals in the food manufacturing industry with the knowledge and tools to integrate sustainability and climate awareness into their operations.
It begins with an understanding of climate change and its specific impact on the manufacturing sector, particularly in food production. Participants will then explore sustainable food manufacturing practices, including energy-efficient production, waste reduction, and sustainable sourcing.
The food manufacturing sector is embracing innovations and practices to align with sustainability goals, as seen in Sustainable Food Manufacturing: Trends and Innovations. These developments highlight the importance of adopting eco-friendly solutions to stay competitive and environmentally responsible.
This course also addresses key frameworks such as the Food and Drink Sector Council: Sustainability, helping participants align their efforts with regulatory standards and industry best practices.
This course is ideal for food manufacturing managers, production supervisors, sustainability officers, supply chain professionals, and anyone involved in the food production process who is looking to enhance their understanding of climate change and implement more sustainable practices in their work.
