Reinforcing Sustainability and Efficiency for Agrifood Firms

Abstract

Academics have focused on agri-food in recent years. To feed 9.8 billion people by 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100, global food output must treble. Over 33% of global food output, or 930 million tons, is lost or wasted in the agri-food supply chain, leaving 800 million people hungry, according to the FAO. We expect worldwide population expansion to increase trash generation and its environmental impacts. agreed that Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technology might change agriculture. This would boost food production with less resource use, minimize food waste, and improve environmental sustainability. The Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud computing, sophisticated manufacturing methods, and big data analytics are central to the I4.0 paradigm. All of these technologies improve business performance. Digitization's main advantages for agriculture include precision mechanization, automation, better decision-making, and increased traceability.
