Food banks appear to be a socially desirable solution better utilizing food waste from the standpoint of reduction since it provides “win-win” solution. Despite having valuable mission, sadly, bank faces several barriers due their reliance on donations. As result, collaboration is becoming step for increase resources which lead corporate sustainability. This paper employs systematic literature review approach analyze 26 “Food Bank and Stakeholder Partnerships” papers published in Scopus database over past five years. The findings indicate that most research comes US have sustain system bank. Numerous studies examined between different institutions, including healthcare, community, retail, academic, self-organizing, multi-stakeholder entities each gain uniqueness objective partnership. discussed existing stakeholders partnership with Four-Co-phase Models Value Co-creation Process understand phases traits partnerships. Communication become an important point build Based findings, topic communication widely addressed articles collaborative efforts, necessitating further trust within collaboration. Further needed explore sustainability developing countries limited studies. In addition external collaboration, internal also ensuring organizational harmony future.

Food loss and waste pose significant social, economic, environmental challenges worldwide, threatening food security hindering sustainable development. While developing countries primarily face losses during production storage, developed nations struggle with driven by consumer habits, spoilage, overstocking, particularly in markets, restaurants, homes. This study was aimed to analyze the complex relationships between loss, waste, various economic variables. The examined effects of variables such as education expenditures, security, prices, greenhouse gas emissions, carbon emissions per capita on waste. These analyses shed light development policies at both national global levels. Interventions reduce will not only optimize consumption processes but also support a management resources. As result, this understand long-term growth, sustainability, social welfare. findings are great importance terms directing future aim be an important guide transition systems.

Approximately one-third of the world's food production, i.e., 1.43 billion tons, is wasted annually, resulting in economic losses nearly USD 940 and undermining system sustainability. This waste depletes resources, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, negatively affects security prices. Although traditional packaging preserves quality, it cannot satisfy demands extended shelf life, safety, Consequently, active using biopolymer matrices containing antioxidants antimicrobials a promising solution. review examines current advancements integration carbon quantum dots (CQDs) into biopolymer-based packaging, focusing on their antioxidant antimicrobial properties. CQDs provide unique advantages over nanoparticles natural compounds, including high biocompatibility, tunable surface functionality, environmental explores mechanisms through which impart activities, synthesis methods, functionalization optimize efficacy matrices. Recent studies have highlighted that CQD-enhanced biopolymers maintain biodegradability with enhanced functions. Additionally, potential challenges, such as toxicity, regulatory considerations, scalability are discussed, offering insights future research directions industrial applications. demonstrates CQD-incorporated transform aligning sustainability goals advancing preservation technologies.

As the world attempts to decarbonise food industry and limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, plant-based meat analogues (PBMAs) have emerged as a sustainable alternative traditional meat. The objective of this study is assess environmental impacts PBMAs compared beef burgers, aiming address research gap in life cycle assessments (LCAs) publicly available PBMA recipes. Utilising cradle-to-fork system boundary, conducted rigorous LCA on 100 g burger patty its (BB) counterpart, each produced UK but sourced from different global locations. results demonstrated that had significantly lower across several categories, including 65% reduction warming potential 45% water consumption. A simple extrapolation illustrated if population switched analogue patties, 3 million tonnes CO2e could be saved annually, corresponding 0.74% country’s yearly territorial GHG emissions. Scenario analyses displayed how impact MA remained stable regardless changes exportation, ingredient origin or soy protein sourcing. Moreover, sensitivity analysis with an characterisation method corroborated initial findings, whilst uncertainty ensured nearly all conclusions generated original comparison were robust. Future studies should conduct LCAs patties commercial recipes using varied sources, well fully understanding any health implications long-term
