Food Processing and Production
- Food processing: transforming raw ingredients into consumable products (e.g., canning, freezing, cooking)
- Food production: agriculture, farming, livestock, and aquaculture
- Food distribution: transportation, storage, and delivery of food products
Food Safety and Security
- Food safety: ensuring food is free from harmful contaminants (e.g., bacteria, chemicals)
- Food security: availability, access, and utilization of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food
- Food waste: reduction and management of food waste throughout the supply chain
