“…Point of care (POC) or point of need (PON) are those technologies that are applicable onsite and available immediately for diagnosis and treatment of individual food production conditions [ 34 ]. In food production sustainability, the area that requires POC technologies is food quality control, which is concerned with nutrient monitoring, food safety and security, and food production environment control [ 35 , 36 ]. The demand of POC technologies in this area focuses on rapid, simple, accurate, and portable qualities; the availability of low-cost analytical instruments is currently growing, for which biosensing fully meets demand.…”

“…In current food production, contamination sources exist in agriculture chemical use and other underestimate origins, which call for urgent development of biosensing instrument to assess and control food qualities and to reduce potential hazards [ 36 ]. The current situation is that none of the single functioning biosensors can take over the complex tasks in food contamination measure, but a combination of various technologies is required, such as the combination microbial biosensors, DNA biosensors, biochemical DNA repair, and metabolic activation of toxins like carcinogens.…”

Current food production faces tremendous challenges from growing human population, maintaining clean resources and food qualities, and protecting climate and environment. Food sustainability is mostly a cooperative effort resulting in technology development supported by both governments and enterprises. Multiple attempts have been promoted in tackling challenges and enhancing drivers in food production. Biosensors and biosensing technologies with their applications, are being widely applied to tackling top challenges in food production and its sustainability. Consequently, a growing demand in biosensing technologies exists in food sustainability. Microfluidics represents a technological system integrating multiple technologies. Nanomaterials, with its technology in biosensing, is thought to be the most promising tool in dealing with health, energy, and environmental issues closely related to world populations. The demand of point of care (POC) technologies in this area focus on rapid, simple, accurate, portable, and low-cost analytical instruments. This review provides current viewpoints from the literature on biosensing in food production, food processing, safety and security, food packaging and supply chain, food waste processing, food quality assurance, and food engineering. The current understanding of progress, solution, and future challenges, as well as the commercialization of biosensors are summarized.
