The agroindustry, encompassing agriculture and food processing, is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water pollution, and soil degradation. This escalating environmental crisis highlights the urgent need for transformative solutions. Yet, despite the severity of the ecological crisis, a comprehensive and coordinated global action plan remains critically absent
The agroindustry significantly impacts climate change and sustainable development, contributing to waste and resource depletion, accelerating ecological degradation, and revealing systemic inefficiencies. This underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions. Inefficient solid waste management aggravates the crisis, with waste frequently being directly discarded into the environment, landfilled, leaching into aquatic systems, stockpiled at production sites, or downcycled into low-value products, further compromising environmental sustainability
