Summary
One of the most pressing problems to which the world community will soon be exposed is provision of sufficient food for the global population. Factors impeding global food security are the expected climate change and the growing world population.
If the high losses in the food chain, as well as the losses in agricultural production, can be reduced, then the pressure on an expansion of food production can be reduced.
The food engineering community has developed solutions to reduce losses and to exploit unconventional resources to produce food and feed. The utilization of solar energy, for example, allows for the application of electrical-energy-demanding processes even in poorly developed areas. Another example is the conversion of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin into edible products. The efficiency of food processing will also be improved by new packaging and distribution systems as well as the integration of IT into processing and the exploitation of engineeringomics.
