Greening Food and Beverage Value Chains: The Case of the Meat Processing Industry

This report is a review of best practice greening opportunities for Asian beef supply chains. It includes feed and livestock production; meat processing; value-added and by-products processing; transport and distribution; and finally domestic consumption. Consideration is given to both advanced and less developed supply chains and the issues faced by actors in these supply chains. The report is expected to serve as a point of orientation for practitioners in their adoption of green industry policies and practices and improvements that can be made in environmental performance. Where appropriate, a 'closed-loop' approach is presented whereby all by-products are recovered and usefully applied to the highest possible level.
