DESCRIPTION:Packaging technologies and value chain concepts to advance valu
 e-added\, pulse-based foods\n\nAbstract\n\nDesire for value-added non-meat
  based meals is increasing for reasons of cost\, sustainability\, and heal
 th. For example\, 66% of the 31% of North Americans who practice meat-free
  days do so because non-meat based meals are perceived as healthy and the 
 FOA attributes 15% of GHG to livestock which\, comes at a huge environment
 al cost. Existing and emerging packaging technologies can be twisted to ca
 pitalize on this trend and expand the portfolio and consumption of value-a
 dded\, pulse-food offerings. There is much potential. But\, it is complex.
  The reality is that in order for packaging technologies applicable for pu
 lses to gain traction\, manufacturer and distribution/retailer and consume
 r needs must be met as well as the value chain aligned. These needs are ex
 pansive and include: efficiencies\, profits\, competitiveness\, resource u
 se\, convenience\, health\, sustainability\, shelf life\, storage\, logist
 ics\, and the environmental cost of refrigeration and freezing foods. Pack
 aging technologies aligned with current and emerging processing technologi
 es are part of the solution for increased consumption of value-added pulse
 s. And value chain alignment to allow innovation and the balance of cost:b
 enefit is essential. Packaging technologies with relevance to value-added 
 pulses that will be discussed include:\n\n\n	Sustainable (reduce\, reuse\, 
 recycle\, degrade) packaging\n	Edible and antimicrobial packaging\n	Active\,
  intelligent\, and responsive packaging\n\n\nValue chain concepts of: agil
 ity\, tactical knowledge\, and incentives will be conveyed in the context 
 of packaging innovation for value-added pulses.\n\n \n\nClaire Koelsch San
