The major cause of climate change has been attributed to the food systems. Thus, sustainability in the agri-food processing industry is becoming increasingly crucial in terms of carbon footprint estimation. The unit operations in the food supply chain, such as processing, packaging, transportation, and consumption, emit various greenhouse gases, which increase the footprint during the food supply chain. Hence, the review article highlighted green technological interventions in the food supply chain with case studies of pre-harvesting and post-harvesting operations. Additional information about carbon footprint (CFP) labeling, packaging, storage, and transportation is discussed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and enhance consumer awareness in terms of food choices based on the carbon footprint values of the product. Green technologies subject to the food supply chain positively influence sustainability. This technology will aid in the strategic decision-making process for reducing food waste and reducing carbon footprint production.
气候变化的主要原因被归因于食品系统。因此，就碳足迹估算而言，农业食品加工业的可持续性正变得越来越关键。食品供应链中的单元操作，如加工、包装、运输和消费，会排放各种温室气体，这增加了食品供应链中的足迹。因此，这篇综述文章通过收获前和收获后操作的案例研究，突出了食品供应链中的绿色技术干预措施。还讨论了有关碳足迹（CFP）标签、包装、储存和运输的更多信息，以尽量减少温室气体排放（GHGE），并根据产品的碳足迹值提高消费者在食品选择方面的意识。适用于食品供应链的绿色技术对可持续性有积极影响。这项技术将有助于减少食物浪费和减少碳足迹产生的战略决策过程。
