It also discusses the necessity of integrated approaches and frameworks to develop a global halal food supply chain.

This book is a useful starting point for research scientists, food technologists, religious scholars, and consumers. It is also aimed at food industry entrepreneurs wanting to develop niche halal food products and services.

Dr Lodhi’s extensive work experience in food research, science & technology, within industry and academic environments provided an insight to the major issues faced by the global halal food supply chain. His personal experience of living both in Muslim and secular countries contributed to a broader view of the challenges faced by halal food consumers.
