Opération Mange-Gardiens : non au gaspillage alimentaire!
\"Un tiers des aliments produits dans le monde n'est mangé par personne et jeté aux ordures. À l'échelle planétaire, le gaspillage alimentaire représente le volume faramineux de 1,3 milliard de tonnes de fruits, de légumes, de viandes, de laitages et de céréales... À chaque seconde, on détruit 41 tonnes de nourriture comestible à travers le monde, alors que plus de 345 millions de personnes souffrent de la faim. Opération mange-gardiens, un documentaire fouillé et incontournable pour sensibiliser les jeunes au gaspillage alimentaire et pour leur donner des outils afin qu'ils deviennent à leur tour de véritables « mange-gardiens »\"--Publisher's website.

Application of hyperspectral technology in detection of agricultural products and food: A Review
Food is the foundation of human survival. With the development and progress of society, people increasingly focus on the problems of food quality and safety, which is closely related to human's health. Thus, the whole industrial chain from farmland to dining table need to be strictly controlled. Traditional detection methods are time‐consuming, laborious, and destructive. In recent years, hyperspectral technology has been more and more applied to food safety and quality detection, because the technology can achieve rapid and nondestructive detection of food, and the requirement to experimental condition is low; operability is strong. In this paper, hyperspectral imaging technology was briefly introduced, and its application in agricultural products and food detection in recent years was systematically summarized, and the key points in the research process were deeply discussed. This work lays a solid foundation for the peers to the following in‐depth research and application of this technology. Compared with chemical detection, the advantages of this technology were introduced. The application progress of hyperspectral technology in primary agricultural products and food in recent years was systematically reviewed. The deficiency and key points of this technology in the research were discussed in depth.

Identification of Transgenic Agricultural Products and Foods Using NIR Spectroscopy and Hyperspectral Imaging: A Review
Spectroscopy and its imaging techniques are now popular methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis in fields such as agricultural products and foods, and combined with various chemometric methods. In fact, this is the application basis for spectroscopy and spectral imaging techniques in other fields such as genetics and transgenic monitoring. To date, there has been considerable research using spectroscopy and its imaging techniques (especially NIR spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging) for the effective identification of agricultural products and foods. There have been few comprehensive reviews that cover the use of spectroscopic and imaging methods in the identification of genetically modified organisms. Therefore, this paper focuses on the application of NIR spectroscopy and its imaging techniques (including NIR spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging techniques) in transgenic agricultural product and food detection and compares them with traditional detection methods. A large number of studies have shown that the application of NIR spectroscopy and imaging techniques in the detection of genetically modified foods is effective when compared to conventional approaches such as polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Pesticides: Behavior in Agricultural Soil and Plants
This review considers potential approaches to solve an important problem concerning the impact of applied pesticides of various classes on living organisms, mainly agricultural crops used as food. We used the method of multi-residual determination of several pesticides in agricultural food products with its practical application for estimating pesticides in real products and in model experiments. The distribution of the pesticide between the components of the soil-plant system was studied with a pesticide of the sulfonylureas class, i.e., rimsulfuron. Autoradiography showed that rimsulfuron inhibits the development of plants considered as weeds. Cereals are less susceptible to the effects of pesticides such as acetamiprid, flumetsulam and florasulam, while the development of legume shoots was inhibited with subsequent plant death.

From Field to Screen: How Live-Streaming Backgrounds and Product Processing Levels Shape Purchase Intentions for Agricultural Products
This research investigates the interactive influence of live-streaming background design and food processing levels on consumer behavior. Our findings reveal that for minimally processed agricultural products, an origin-based background (e.g., broadcasting directly from a farm) significantly enhances purchase intention compared to a standard studio background. We demonstrate that this effect is driven by a heightened perception of freshness. Conversely, for highly processed agricultural goods, the influence of background type is attenuated. Furthermore, we identify rural sentiment as a critical boundary condition, revealing that the positive effect of origin-based backgrounds is amplified among consumers with stronger emotional ties to rural life. These results offer nuanced insights into how digital broadcasting environments can be strategically aligned with product characteristics to optimize marketing outcomes.

Machine vision system: a tool for quality inspection of food and agricultural products
Quality inspection of food and agricultural produce are difficult and labor intensive. Simultaneously, with increased expectations for food products of high quality and safety standards, the need for accurate, fast and objective quality determination of these characteristics in food products continues to grow. However, these operations generally in India are manual which is costly as well as unreliable because human decision in identifying quality factors such as appearance, flavor, nutrient, texture, etc., is inconsistent, subjective and slow. Machine vision provides one alternative for an automated, non-destructive and cost-effective technique to accomplish these requirements. This inspection approach based on image analysis and processing has found a variety of different applications in the food industry. Considerable research has highlighted its potential for the inspection and grading of fruits and vegetables, grain quality and characteristic examination and quality evaluation of other food products like bakery products, pizza, cheese, and noodles etc. The objective of this paper is to provide in depth introduction of machine vision system, its components and recent work reported on food and agricultural produce.

Enhancing resource efficiency and value addition in food and agricultural by-product processing: a green recycling approach
This study presents an innovative green recycling model designed to enhance resource efficiency and value addition in the processing of food and agricultural by-products. The model integrates a resource circulation system to streamline by-product flow across the industrial chain. It optimizes resource allocation and logistics using advanced algorithms and network analysis. We developed an eco-friendly processing technique with modern green technologies. This approach enhances by-product conversion rates while reducing energy consumption. Real-time data collection and intelligent monitoring ensure efficient operation and maximize resource utilization. Experimental results show high effectiveness, with utilization rates of rice bran, wheat bran, and rice husk at 85.4, 82.7, and 88.1% in the processing phase, rising to 92.3, 90.4, and 93.2% in the transformation phase. These rates reflect a substantial improvement in both initial utilization and recycling efficiency. Additionally, the contributions of physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods to the overall value addition of the industrial chain were 35, 27, and 22% respectively, highlighting the synergistic effects of these technologies in enhancing resource value. This research offers a robust theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the green recycling of food and agricultural by-products, promoting sustainable development and resource efficiency in the industry.

Recent trends on energy-efficient solar dryers for food and agricultural products drying: a review
The energy efficiency enhancement of solar dryers has attracted the attention of researchers worldwide because of the need for energy storage in solar drying applications, which arises primarily from the irregular nature of solar energy that leads to improper drying which will reduce the quality of the products being dried. This work comprehensively reviews the state-of-the-art research carried out on solar dryers for energy efficiency enhancement using various alternative strategies, including hybrid solar dryers that use auxiliary heating sources, such as electric heaters or biomass heaters, solar-assisted heat pump dryer, use of desiccant materials, and heat storage systems that use both sensible and latent heat storage. The advent of phase change materials (PCM), such as thermally and chemically stable PCMs, for long-term storage, bio-degradable and bio-compatible PCM materials to alleviate the negative environmental impact of conventional PCMs is also presented. The performance parameters considered for evaluating dryers include the maximum temperature attained inside the drying chamber, drying time and efficiency, specific moisture extraction rate (SMER), energy and exergy efficiency and CO
