Summary

The Handbook of Organic Food Processing and Production published in 1994, the book established itself as the definitive guide to international organic food processing. The rapid development of the organic sector since then has necessitated a completely rewritten and expanded second volume. The new edition will appeal to everyone interested in entering or supplying the organic food market. It will be a work of reference for existing organic producers and colleges of agriculture, food science and food technology. This new edition gives an international perspective on the many legal requirements of organic food processing and production: legislation, importation, certification, conversion and labelling. The continued sales growth of organics is profiled, together with pointers for future performance, and industry experts review their specialist product categories.
