Abstract:

India is the 3rd largest producer of food commodities in the world after China and USA. It tops in the world in production of milk (121 million tonnes per annum); It also ranks first in fresh fruit production (74.87 million tonnes ? 12.5% of world production); is 2nd largest producer of vegetables (146.55 million tonnes ? 14% of world production); and also in rice and sugarcane; 3rd largest producer of food grains including coarse grains and edible oil seeds (257 million tonnes per annum) and also the largest producer and exporter of spices and condiments. It is also the largest producer of buffalo meat in the world and ranks fifth in poultry egg production. Marine products and spices together contribute more than 74% of export earnings. About 25% of marine and fish in the country are exported. Sustainable Approaches: 1. Bakery Industry 2. Meat & Marine product sector 3. Food Packaging Techniques 4. In oil and oil seeds sector, the consumer tre1nd is now for blended edible oil. Refined oil accounts for more than 60% of consumption with filtered oil taking up rest. Blended edible oil has emerged as preferential one for health reasons in general 5. Adoption of ?freeze technology? for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables available in the country and the development of necessary infrastructure for the same are the other challenging sustainable approaches
