Seeing green

摘要

As part of the American Meat Institute's 2009 Worldwide Food Expo scheduled for Oct. 28-31, MEAT&POULTRY is sponsoring a three-morning series of presentations focusing on sustainability and the implications and opportunities facing food processors. As green-minded consumers are increasingly demanding to know more about the environmental impact of the products they buy, retailers such as Wal-Mart are responding by requiring suppliers to quantify their sustainability efforts. Meanwhile, a growing number of manufacturers are realizing the benefits of "going green" by eliminating waste in their operations and making it a marketing campaign that resonates with customers.
