A chapter in Case Studies on Sustainability in the Food Industry, 2022, pp 185-201 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The food industry has made significant strides towards improving its sustainability in recent years. But whilst the industry continues to play a vital role in improving its own sustainability record, it is yet to effectively address the complex array of issues it is still subjected to. Particularly in the case of Malaysia, it is still grappling with a lot of concerns mainly pertaining to issues like traceability in its meat products, the unsustainable nature of its palm oil production and food waste to which the authorities are urgently seeking solutions to. The chapter explores these issues and examines how food security can be ensured in the country.
