Low Carbon Technologies Of Agro-Food Industry

Abstract

Summary The agro-based food industry in Egypt is one of the main pillars of the improvement of the Egyptian economy, but it can be a major source of environmental pollution due to the large quantity of vegetable and fruit wastes generated. Organic wastes are often managed from agro-industries without proper planning and accompanying risks for surrounding environment. Agricultural waste management is one of the main tasks of local governments responsible for the field of agricultural industries. The main task of researchers, engineers and technicians, is to provide policy makers and decision makers with technical options and scientific solutions for the recycling of agricultural industrial waste for reuse. Fermentation of the solid state is one of the most important technology used to enrich the protein for the residues of the agricultural industries and is widely used with different types of safe fungus strains, which increase the nutritional value of the residues of the agricultural industries and reuse as animal feed .. This represents the economic income of food products factories and the corresponding environmental return for the disposal of waste from industrial processes. The problem of animal feed in Egypt has increased in recent years as a result of increasing demand, inadequate production and a rise in the price of the dollar, which has affected the high prices of fodders . Therefore, alternatives should be search to increase the production of feed and its production from non-used materials such as agricultural wastes.
