Peter has been active in sustainable dairy processing for more than 20 years and has written more than 140 scientific and technical papers on the subject.  \u003cp\u003eSustainability is a pressing issue in all types of manufacturing, and the dairy industry is no exception. Studies have shown that current dairy production methods have a large environmental impact, whilst regulatory, societal and consumer pressures are forcing the industry to quantify its carbon and water footprints, and to adopt more sustainable practices. It is clear that sustainability will be on the agenda for the foreseeable future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough it is expected that in the coming years there will be billions of new consumers creating new business opportunities for dairy companies, some crucial issues remain. It has been concluded that the current global food system is on an unsustainable track, which poses a threat to global food security. The dairy sector needs to be transformed in order to secure a long-term food supply for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSustainable Dairy Production\u003c\/i\u003e aims to provide the dairy and related industries with inspiration to find sustainable solutions for today and tomorrow. The book gives an overview of the main aspects of a sustainable dairy production chain. It then follows the approach a dairy company can apply to upgrade their degree of sustainability in terms of energy use, carbon footprint and water footprint.
