Green Practices In Halal Food Industry: A Case Study Of A Halal Food Company

The food manufacture industry is the most significant contributor to environmental pollution. Due to the lack of research on the conservation of the halal food industry, this study aims to identify green practice challenges and to propose green practices in the halal food manufacturing industry. The case study was conducted at a halal food processing company located in Terengganu, Malaysia. An interview with the operation manager of the company was conducted to gain insight of the green initiatives that have been implemented in the company. The results provide an overview of the practice of unsustainable food production, although some aspects have met the needs of sustainable development, but some are still imbalanced on the aspects of economy, environment and social development. Since this is a preliminary study, more research need to be done regarding sustainable development of the food industry especially in halal food industry.
