Abstract

This paper analyzes the nature and significance of the term "sustainability", emphasizes the importance of carrying out certain activities in food production, with an emphasis on the food industry. A number of developed countries in the world have developed and adopted a strategy for sustainable development and provided appropriate solutions for strengthening sustainable technologies. These documents propose concrete solutions with deadlines within which the industry should achieve the goals set in the strategy. In other countries of the world, this is an issue that is still being discussed between the government and consumers, on the one hand, and industry on the other. In modern thinking, the idea of sustainability has been extended to the requirement to ensure a sustainable future. Several environmental factors are included in the discussion. The modern concept of sustainable development includes a balance between human activities and social, economic and environmental factors. Companies have a threefold role in this: they must take into account their impact on the environment, the fulfillment of social requirements and economic business and accountability to investors and employees.
