Emerging technologies are revolutionizing the food industry by enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Key innovations span the entire supply chain.
In production, precision agriculture and vertical farming optimize resource use. Biotechnology is enabling alternative proteins like cultivated meat. Robotics and AI are automating processing, quality control, and logistics. Blockchain ensures transparent traceability from farm to fork, boosting consumer trust.
Novel processing methods, such as High Hydrostatic Pressure (HPP) and Ohmic heating, better preserve nutrients and flavor. Smart packaging extends shelf life and reduces waste. These advancements collectively aim to create a more resilient, transparent, and nutritious global food system.
