“…Finally they indicate that the hybrid approach achieves better solutions compared to others. Zhang et al (2014) have considered economic, social and environmental factors, as three aspects of sustainability and proposed a multi-objective optimization to quantify sustainability performance of supply chain. From the methods point of view most of the sustainable studies concentrate on optimizing the ecorival parameters to either minimize environmental hazardous waste or save scarce resources (i.e.…”

A sustainability program is about implementing essential sustainability practices at various intensities that will not harm people because of firm actions. This paper formulates an optimization model to identify an optimal intensity of implementation of selected sustainability practices referred as sustainability program for maximising manufacturing industry sustainability performance for a known set of budgetary and minimum thresholds constraints with respect to economic, social and socio-economic criteria. Besides modelling the paper proposes a random search procedure embedding the NN to determine the optimal sustainability program and explains the usefulness with a sample problem. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to understand the behaviour of the model. It is observed that the sustainability performances depend on the constraints such as budget limitation and threshold values of performance criterion.

“…Sustainability has various definitions that identifies the major points surrounding it. Sustainability could be described as the ability to make economical decision whereas ecological balance is maintained putting the future into consideration [18]. The most acceptable definition of sustainability as described by the United States Environmental Protection Agency states "a process of developing and balancing human technological and economic needs in productive harmony with nature, giving fulfilment to cultural, economic, social and environmental requirement to the present with future generations in consideration" [19].…”

-Climate change has been a great challenge that the world is facing, it is a menace to the society and it is causing more damage than expected. The researchers are working tirelessly to reduce its impact on the planet in order to save the future. Mitigation of greenhouse gas emission and other sustainable practices is encouraged every day to make the world a better place to live Sustainable practice has been identified as one of the major tools to control this greenhouse gas emission especially in the emergent nations where industrialization is now growing rapidly. This paper discusses and analyzes the food security and food processing industry in the emergent nations. It also reviews literature on food processing, supply chain environments, sustainability and sustainable practices in relation to how these could help in promoting the sustainable development and environmental protection goals in the emergent nations.
