(548f) Grain Storage Goes Green: Innovations in Sustainable Processes and Products

Grain storage is a crucial aspect of food production and agriculture, and it is also an area where sustainable practices can have a significant impact. Green Process and Product Engineering offers innovative solutions to improve the sustainability of grain storage processes and products. This interdisciplinary field focuses on developing sustainable processes and products that minimize environmental impact. Energy-efficient storage facilities, green pest control methods, sustainable packaging, advanced monitoring and control systems, and the development of value-added products are some of the frontiers in Green Process and Product Engineering in grain storage. By implementing these practices, engineers and researchers can make a positive impact on the environment and society while supporting the critical role of grain storage in agriculture and food production. This abstract provides an overview of the potential of Green Process and Product Engineering in grain storage to improve sustainability and promote a more responsible approach to food production.
