ON A GLOBAL SCALE, THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY IS FACING MORE DEMAND THAN EVER BEFORE. BUT THE COMPLEX REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD PROCESSING BY NATURE REQUIRE LARGE LEVELS OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND THE COST IS ONLY INCREASING.
Food production is at an all time high, and consumers are becoming increasingly expectant of availability, variety, and ease of access. The global population is growing, and food demand in turn will continue to rise exponentially in the next few years, so this problem is set to become more challenging. Like other forms of processing, the machinery required by businesses in this sector are culprits for consuming large quantities of energy - but it’s coming at a price. Particularly as electricity costs continue to rise worldwide, and the environment itself is impacted by inefficient energy practices, which are unsustainable long term.
