A Literature Review of Food Analytics

Abstract

This research examines the potential use of modern technologies such as big data, data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, which have penetrated several aspects of our lives, to address food concerns and problems, forming the nowadays called food analytics. We discuss the potential use of such technologies in relation to food problems and shortages. We analyze the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of such technological advancements and the potential benefits for the global food system. We also provide a research agenda with future directions for the application of big data, data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to the food ecosystem.
