Know the importance of the Food and Feed industries and their technological innovations
Debates involving food as a central theme have always been prominent discussions in the governmental, scientific and social spheres. Food is not just a matter of survival, but has a function that is directly linked to public health issues, cultural and socioeconomic aspects and the food and feed industry grows as human development progresses.
Exercising a fundamental role in society and in the country’s economy, the food industry plays an important and necessary part in the lives of all of us, since in Brazil, according to data from the Associação Brasileira das Indústrias de Alimentos (ABIA), the industry produces 250 million tons of food per year.
Sharing this same importance, the feed industry aims to ensure safe and nutritionally balanced food for the agricultural sector, from production to the moment it goes to the bagger.
How can the food and feed industries directly influence society?
It is our knowledge that the food industry is responsible for the conservation and integrity of the packages that transport and protect food until the moment of its consumption. The Seal sealing system ensures that packages are more compact, clean, fully closed, setting new standards of hygiene and safety.
We know that food is the fuel that allows us to carry out our day-to-day tasks and keeps our bodies healthy and in perfect working order, as well as feed that is the main source of nutrition for animals.
By being constantly attentive to the health and well-being of the population, the food sector is responsible for the impact that its activity causes on our society on a daily basis, leaving the industry to seek the best raw materials, prioritize the use of natural ingredients and be careful with regard to use of artificial elements.
Technology as the main ally of the food and feed industries
The advancement of technology was a factor that contributed to the improvement and evolution of the food industry, which in addition to providing the distribution of quality food, also helps to reduce food waste, as well as excessive use of water, correct disposal of materials for not to pollute the river and the soil, emission of greenhouse gases and other measures that minimize the environmental impact.
In the manufacture of feed this is no different. After going through the bagging process, palletizing is one of the fundamental steps that guarantee the optimization of manufactured products and good distribution logistics to consumers, bringing more practicality and functionality to companies. With the improvement and automation of various processes, it has become increasingly possible to increase productivity in the food segment.
