Sustainability Collection

This subset of about 8,000-10,000 A&I (Abstract & Index) records is selected and curated by the IFIS Science Team who monitors global high-quality sources for content relevant to food-related sustainability.

The collection is updated weekly.

Currently, >1500 high-quality journals (both academic and trade) are monitored, along with patents, standards, books, reports, and proceedings.

All sources are quality-checked and verified by IFIS' in-house experts, meaning that you can be 100% confident that your search results exclude fake science and predatory journals!

The collection covers sustainability topics across the complete food supply chain from the production of raw materials through to consumption.

Key aspects include:

• manufacturing and process efficiency
• waste and emissions management, recycling, and revalorization of side streams
• packaging processes and materials
• distribution and retail
• consumer attitudes, behaviour, and nutrition
• new product development
• food policy
