Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviors that satisfy the needs of their unique metabolisms, often evolving to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts. This book explores the zero-waste concept in the thriving biobased sector, proposing technologies and procedures to meet sustainable development goals.
