P + L Concepts for Food and Nutrition Units

The Food and Nutrition Unit (UAN) is an operation that aims to nourish groups of people. In Brazil, this segment feeds more than 10.0 million people a day, consuming more than 3,000 tonnes of food a day and generating waste as a result of this production process. Minimising waste at source is one of the actions proposed by cleaner production (P+L) in the management of technologies aimed at the sustainable development of organisations. This book covers the concepts of P+L in a UAN, with the aim of minimising the generation of waste at source.
