Food waste is a serious problem worldwide, including in Europe. Research efforts are being carried out to reduce food waste. In this paper, we focus on using modern digital technologies (also known as Industry 4.0 technologies) to reduce waste in food supply chains. Based on interactions with a number of food companies in Europe over the last four years using Action Research, we provide new insights on the motivations and challenges for food companies when they are engaged in the use of technologies for reducing food waste in their supply chains. Motivations for firms include improved food quality of their produce, improved reliability, support in meeting legal requirements, a green image, and improved revenues from selling the food that has been saved. However, data security issues and trust issues posed challenges in using these technologies. Since this is an emerging area of research, we look at potential business models for technology companies for working with food companies in reducing food waste, identify value propositions and value capture, and look at how these investments in technologies can improve the sustainability of food businesses. We believe technology companies can leverage the opportunities, develop new business models with value propositions around the use of technologies, and support food companies via timely alerts in case of potential quality issues. Value capture occurs via the sale of hardware and subscriptions.

“…Biosensors can help in pesticide detection by allowing for faster and more precise detection. Chauhan et al (2019) developed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) immobilized AChE/Fe3O4-MWCNT/Au electrodes, ZnS, and poly-modified Au electrodes, and Fe3O4 NPs/multiwall Carbon Nanotube based sensor for organophosphorus pesticide detection at the nano level. Similarly, due to its sensitivity and accuracy for pest and insecticide detection in agriculture, AuNPs conjugated SPR Immuno sensors have been reported to improve atrazine detection signals in maize crops (Liu et al, 2015b).…”

The application of smart and active packaging, nano sensors, nano pesticides, and nano fertilizers, as well as the rapid development of nanotechnology, has expedited the transformations of traditional food and agriculture industries. Metal nanoparticles have been produced for a variety of applications, including food quality and safety, crop development, and environmental monitoring. The most challenging issues and potential opportunities in the food and agriculture sectors are discussed in this chapter, as well as the most recent trends in nanotechnology from research findings. We focused on the possibilities for biosynthesized and bio-inspired nanoparticles to be used in sustainable development. Nanotechnology is used in agriculture to provide agrochemicals and nutrition, as well as insecticides, nano-scale carriers, smart packing, nanosensors, and nutritional deficiency monitoring. Nanomaterials have a broad range of applications in the food industry, including production, storage, packaging, bioavailability, nutrient conductivity, and food safety. Nanomaterials are likely to become more widely used in agriculture in the future, increasing human and environmental exposure to these materials.

Water Quality Carbon Nanotube-Based Sensors Technological Barriers and Late Research Trends: A Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Water is the key element that defines and individualizes our planet. Relative to body weight, water represents 70% or more for the majority of all species on Earth. Taking care of water as a whole is equivalent with taking care of the entire biodiversity or the whole of humanity itself. Water quality is becoming an increasingly important component of terrestrial life, hence intensive work is being conducted to develop sensors for detecting contaminants and assessing water quality and characteristics. Our bibliometric analysis is focused on water quality sensors based on carbon nanotubes and highlights the most important objectives and achievements of researchers in recent years. Due to important measurement characteristics such as sensitivity and selectivity, or low detection limit and linearity, up to the ability to measure water properties, including detection of heavy metal content or the presence of persistent organic compounds, carbon nanotube (CNT) sensors, taking advantage of available nanotechnologies, are becoming increasingly attractive. The conducted bibliometric analysis creates a visual, more efficient keystones mapping. CNT sensors can be integrated into an inexpensive real-time monitoring data acquisition system as an alternative for classical expensive and time-consuming offline water quality monitoring. The conducted bibliometric analysis reveals all connections and maps all the results in this water quality CNT sensors research field and gives a perspective on the approached methods on this specific type of sensor. Finally, challenges related to integration of other trends that have been used and proven to be valuable in the field of other sensor types and capable to contribute to the development (and outlook) for future new configurations that will undoubtedly emerge are presented.
