Environmental Concerns in the context of food refer to the negative impacts that agricultural practices, food production, distribution, and consumption have on ecosystems, natural resources, and climate stability. These concerns encompass a broad spectrum of issues, including greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, soil degradation, and pollution, all of which are exacerbated by global food systems. Addressing these challenges is critical for ensuring long-term food security, public health, and ecological sustainability.

Equipment Maintenance in the food industry refers to the systematic processes and procedures implemented to ensure the optimal performance, safety, and longevity of machinery and tools used in food production, processing, and packaging. It encompasses preventive, predictive, and corrective measures designed to minimize downtime, comply with hygiene standards, and uphold product quality. Given the stringent regulatory requirements and the critical role of equipment in food safety, maintenance practices must align with international standards such as ISO 22000 and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points).
