Importance of Food Engineering for Innovating Food Quality

Food Quality Standards: Quality Issues and Challenges of Food Chain in Burkina Faso

Background: In Burkina Faso, the agricultural sector accounts for 35% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs 82% of the active population. The agri-food industries must apply the requirements of the management systems to improve their economic position and ensure sustainable development. The present study aimed to highlight the similarities and particularities of these repositories gro...

Software for Food Engineering Applications

Currently, there are industry standard flowsheeting and design programs available, which are widely used by chemical engineers. However, existing programs for food processing applications are limited in their ability to handle the wide variety of processes and products encountered in the food industry. The scientific impediments involved consist of a lack of knowledge of relationships between p...

The Importance of Trade for Food Security

Abstract The important contribution international trade has in meeting the food security challenges that will arise in the first half of the twenty-first century is explained. The dual effect of rising population and increasing incomes among the world’s poorest consumers on food demand is outlined. Slowing rates of increase in global agricultural productivity will add to the difficulties in inc...
