Consumers are becoming more conscious about the environment. Therefore, they are becoming more inclined to buy sustainable food products. Consumers are interested in having organic foods rather than the foods, in which chemical fertilizer and pesticides are used. The preferences of the consumers towards organic foods are increasing not only because they are getting conscious about environment but also they are getting conscious about their health. Therefore, food industry is getting sustainable to create a good image among the consumers and protect the environment. Companies are paying heed attention on reducing the manufacturing of food products containing Trans fat and gluten (Franceschelli, Santoro & Candelo, 2018). They are using such methods to produce their items, which are less water consuming and free from gluten or Trans fat. They are producing products, in which pesticides are not used. They use organic elements to produce the food items. They are also using sustainable ways to distribute their food items in the market. For instance, they use trucks for delivering the products, in which biodiesel is used. The usage of biodiesel cause less carbon emission.

Therefore, they make agriculture as a foundation of their food products. They use more than 25 crops produced in 60 countries in their food products and beverages.
