Sustainability in the Global Dairy Sector

Overview & Synopsis

Rapid transitions in the current global dairy sector are influenced by various factors ranging from technological innovations, environmental concerns, and consumer demand to policy shifts. Hence, adopting a sustainable 'state of the art'-based research approach is critical. Several recurring sustainability challenges along the entire dairy production and supply chain have been identified that need to be addressed. This has driven the need to develop and implement innovative technological solutions, such as novel processing and preservation technologies, prediction models, life cycle analysis, artificial intelligence, IoT, digitalization, etc. It is imperative that these innovations benefit and meet the demands of consumers, producers, and dependent dairy industries. Against this background, this Special Issue reprint focuses on identifying present-day challenges and future opportunities/scopes in the global dairy sector.
