Food Waste to Animal Feed

The magnitude of the food-waste disposal problem cannot be understated. Utilisation of food waste is of concern to the food processing industry, consumers, environmentalists, and regulators of handling and disposal systems. Food waste is not consistent in quality, is usually high in moisture content, and is only available locally. This book focuses on the challenges of utilising both wet and/or processed food waste. The regulatory environment relating to food waste, the perspective of the end-users, and practical use as animal feed is also discussed. One of the goals of this publication, other than to give a clear explanation of the subject of food waste and its uses as animal feed, is to stimulate a need for research.

Surprisingly accessible entry on an important topic

I was given a copy of this book because a friend contributd to the work. I previously had no background or interest in the topic, but decided to look through it out of curiosity. As one without a science background some parts of the book were technical and mysterious to me. But I was surprised to find much of it was quite accessible, and drew my interest. This is an important topic for anyone that cares about the economy and ecology. Prof. Westendorf should be commended for compiling an impressive work.
