28/10/2020 Technological innovations to realise sustainable food systems – part 1

The realisation of sustainable food systems depends on many factors that need to be addressed, including soil and land use, breed and farming, and harvesting. For each of them, technological innovation proves to be a critical enabler. However, achieving sustainable food systems is not just a matter of how food is produced. The aspects related to marketing and consumption should be addressed, as well. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things or Big data can help develop monitoring capabilities and platforms to support the development of sustainable food systems.
