Why is sustainability important in the food industry?

The food industry is now more integral than ever in devising eco-friendly measures and creative solutions for food sustainability. While it might not be the top purchase driver for all consumers, it impacts buying decisions for many when choosing between products, including ingredients and food packaging sustainability methods.

Consumers are more ethically and environmentally conscious, so food brands must work with the public to develop confidence in the claims attached to products. For example, baking industry formulators are using biosolutions to slow the staling process and prevent food waste, creating value for sustainable ingredients.
