Sustainable food production
With the ever increasing world population, the demand for food is of course also growing. A growing number of consumers want safe food that has been produced sustainably. After all, there is still much to be gained in the food industry when it comes to sustainability. Raw materials, water and energy are needed for the production of food and waste is produced in the process. Sustainability can be a common thread through the food production process.
Quality, sustainability and animal welfare are among the demands that an increasing number of consumers place on their food. Trust is crucial in this. With numerous quality marks and certifications, Kiwa helps the agrifood sector to create customer confidence in products and services. Below you will find an overview of quality marks and certifications that Kiwa offers in the field of sustainable food production.
