The Food Processing Industry’s Environmental Issues and Solutions | Business Standard News

Large acres of land need to be cleared which leads to a loss in biopersity, soil depletion due to extra use of fertilizers as well an increase in the levels of carbon pollution.

Therefore the policy of reforestation will further fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals no: 13 which is Climate Change and UN SDG 15, which is Life on Land.

“United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change now allows countries to earn carbon credits for planting trees.

The plantation drive has been running throughout the year and success will be determined in the long run.” said Mr.Gulzair Ahmed, Director, and CFO at HMA Agro Industries Ltd.

In the first stage, HMA treats the wastewater by the system of pre-treatment, which involves removing larger and smaller solids and separating oils and fats from the water.

HMA is contributing to the horticulture sector, which provides raw materials to food processing industries and plays a vital role in the Indian economy.

HMA believes that the right combination of equipment and devising sustainable policies will reduce the overall environmental impact.

Business Standard has always strived hard to provide up-to-date information and commentary on developments that are of interest to you and have wider political and economic implications for the country and the world.

This means that there is a need to scale up the food production to feed the future generation, however not at the expense of the environment.

One of the reasons HMA is having a big name in the market is because of the sustainable methodology they have been following.

HMA has already planted more than 65000 trees, which will function as carbon sinks and therefore contribute to India’s tryst with carbon credits,” said Mr.Gulzair Ahmed, Director and CFO at HMA.

When it comes to the environment, it’s great to see HMA’s investment in innovation to build a stable food supply system for the coming generations.

This is followed by the most efficient and robust technique of biological treatment for the removal of organic load and nitrogen from the water.

HMA mentioned that the amount of wastewater generated is reduced by commercially available high-pressure hoses and the use of taps with automatic shut-off.

In conclusion, optimizing the food supply chain, achieving sustainability, improving water efficiency, and restoring the environmental balance is their focus to create value for the planet and the families it is feeding.
