The food supply chain is changing from a local business to a global venture due to rapid developments in food technology, food transportation and food trade. Halal food emerged as a serious international business opportunity due to an increase in demand by almost 2 billion Muslim consumers.

The book covers all stages from farm to fork and presents issues relevant to the halal food supply chain using an innovative and accessible approach. 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.
