This paper examines the factors contributing to the adoption of advanced technologies in the Canadian food-processing sector. The numbers of technologies used by plant is found to be highly correlated with expected gains in firm performance. The benefits of enhanced food safety and quality, as well as productivity improvements, are closely associated with technology use. Impediments that negatively affect technology use include software costs, problems with external financing, lack of cash flow for financing, and internal management problems. Even after accounting for the different benefits and costs associated with technology adoption, the numbers of advanced technologies that are adopted are found to be greater in larger plants, in foreign-controlled plants, in plants that engage in both primary and secondary processing, and in the dairy, fruit and vegetable and "other" food product industries.

The food-processing industry benefits from a wide a range of new advanced technologies. Technological advances include computer-based information and control systems, as well as sophisticated processing and packaging methods that enhance product quality, improve food safety and reduce costs. Continuous quality improvement and benchmarking are examples of related business practices. This study examines the use of advanced technologies in the food-processing industry. It focuses not just on the incidence and intensity of use of these new technologies but also on the way technology relates to overall firm strategy. It also examines how technology use is affected by selected industry structural characteristics and how the adoption of technologies affects the performance of firms. It considers as well how the environment influences technological change. The nature and structure of the industry are shown to condition the competitive environment, the business strategies that are pursued, product characteristics and the role of technology. Firms make strategic choices in light of technological opportunities and the risks and opportunities provided by their competitive environments. They implement strategies through appropriate business practices and activities, including the development of core competences in the areas of marketing, production and human resources, as well as technology. Firms that differ in size and nationality choose to pursue different technological strategies. This technology for large and small establishments, for foreign and domestic plants and for plants in different industries.

This study examines the innovative process as practised in the food processing industry, with emphasis on process innovation either alone or in conjunction with a new product. Data for the study were obtained from Statistics Canada's 1998 Survey of Advanced Technology in the Food Processing Industry. After an introduction on the study & the Survey, chapter 2 describes the level of innovation in the industry and provides the links between innovation and the use of advanced technologies, technological competitiveness, practice, and strategies. Chapter 3 examines the relationships among the ways that plants buy, adapt, or develop new technologies, and the methods used to develop & acquire the new technologies. Innovative activities of recent innovators are also compared with those who have not made a recent innovation. Chapter 4 studies differences in innovative activities between Canadian- controlled and foreign-controlled plants, large and small plants, and individual food industries. Chapter 5 investigates the human resource implications of technological change. Chapter 7 looks at the importance of government programs & services for innovation in the industry. The final chapter draws some conclusions.

This paper investigates the evolution of industrial structure in the Canadian food processing sector and its relationship to technological change. It does so by examining the impact on plant performance of adopting advanced manufacturing technologies, among them information & communication technologies. The study utilizes a linked dataset combining advanced technology-use data from a 1998 special survey with firm performance data derived from administrative records covering 1988-97. The data file contains information on advanced technology-use, plant characteristics, and plant performance. The paper first examines the characteristics of firms that adopt advanced technologies. It also enumerates the extent to which plants replace one another by transferring market share and the extent to which this has been accompanied by changes in relative productivity & profitability. It then studies the effect of technological choices on plant performance, using measures such as growth in productivity and market share, and examines the relationship between the use of advanced manufacturing technology (such as programmable controllers, aseptic processing, and computer networks) and those two measures of plant performance.

This book will review the current status of the agriculture and agri-food sector in regard to green processing and provide strategies that can be used by the sector to enhance the use of environmentally-friendly technologies for production, processing. The book will look at the full spectrum from farm to fork beginning with chapters on life cycle analysis and environmental impact assessment of different agri-food sectors. This will be followed by reviews of current and novel on-farm practices that are more environmentally-friendly, technologies for food processing that reduce chemical and energy use and emissions as well as novel analytical techniques for R&D and QA which reduce solvent, chemical and energy consumption. Technologies for waste treatment, "reducing, reusing, recycling", and better water and energy stewardship will be reviewed. In addition, the last section of the book will attempt to look at technologies and processes that reduce the generation of process-induced toxins (e.g., trans fats, acrylamide, D-amino acids) and will address consumer perceptions about current and emerging technologies available to tackle these processing and environmental issues.

The purpose of this study was to provide an economic analysis of the relationship between scale and productivity in Canada's food processing and its significance for Canadian public policy and management purposes. With the changing global agri-food environment and future demand opportunities, scale in food processing is one factor that allows participating Canadian firms to compete successfully in this environment. Large scale processing drives large scale demand for agricultural products, leads to growth of markets along the whole value chain and allows firms to satisfy both the domestic and export markets.

This technical summary prepared by FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) reports on the two international food safety conferences held in Addis Ababa and Geneva in February and April 2019. It recalls the key actions and strategies presented to address current and future challenges to food safety globally and the steps required to strengthen commitment at the highest political level to scale up food safety in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At a pivotal moment focussing international attention on actions needed to bolster food safety, this publication recalls the priorities discussed so that food safety strategies and approaches can be aligned across sectors and borders, reinforcing efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and supporting the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition.
