Smart Food Systems and Data Analytics

Smart Food Systems refer to the integration of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics into the food supply chain to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and safety of food production, distribution, and consumption. These systems use real-time data collected from sensors, devices, and other sources to monitor various stages of food production, from farming to the consumer. Data analytics plays a crucial role by processing this data to provide actionable insights, optimize operations, predict trends, improve resource management, and reduce waste. By utilizing data-driven decision-making, smart food systems can improve food quality, traceability, and sustainability, ultimately creating a more efficient and transparent food supply chain. This integration is essential for meeting the demands of a growing global population while minimizing environmental impacts.
