Abstract

Utilizing technologies for processing fruits and vegetables is crucial for tackling major issues with contemporary food systems. In the supply chain for fruits and vegetables, this research examines the diverse effects of processing methods on sustainability, waste reduction, and nutritional improvement. Our study employs a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative information from expert interviews with quantitative data analysis from 150 samples to provide a thorough evaluation of this topic. The results show that processing technologies have a considerable impact on waste reduction, energy conservation, and resource efficiency. These technologies are also crucial for extending product shelf life and raising marketable yield, which decreases food waste. Although some nutrients are lost during processing, cutting-edge methods have been shown to increase nutrient retention. This study not only clarifies the intricate relationships that exist between processing technologies and sustainability, but it also offers a foundation for future research in this vital area. The lessons learned from this study have significant significance for the creation of sustainable and nutrient-dense food systems as we struggle with the urgent challenge of feeding a growing global population while protecting the environment and enhancing nutrition.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of food packaging innovations on shelf life extension and food waste reduction within a leading Indonesian food company. Employing a quantitative approach, the study incorporates a diverse sample of products subjected to various packaging technologies. Descriptive and inferential statistics reveal a statistically significant increase in shelf life by 50% and a substantial reduction in food waste by 40%. Consumer surveys underscore positive perceptions, with 80% expressing a preference for sustainable packaging. Economically, a 15% reduction in costs associated with product losses supports the business case for innovative packaging. These findings contribute empirical evidence to the discourse on sustainable food systems, emphasizing the practical effectiveness and economic viability of advanced packaging technologies.

Abstract

This research investigates the intricate interplay of Waste Management Technology, Recycling Policy, and Community Participation in East Java, aiming to discern their collective impact on Waste Generation Reduction. A diverse sample of 250 respondents was analyzed demographically, and their responses were subjected to a rigorous quantitative analysis, employing Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results affirm the validity of the measurement model, establish discriminant validity, and reveal robust structural relationships. Management Technology, Recycling Policy, and Community Participation demonstrate positive and significant associations with Waste Generation Reduction, underscoring the need for a multifaceted approach to sustainable waste management. The study enhances our understanding of waste dynamics in East Java and provides actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners to formulate targeted interventions.
