Toward Better Food Security Using Concepts from Industry 5.0

Abstract

The rapid growth of the world population has increased the food demand as well as the need for assurance of food quality, safety, and sustainability. However, food security can easily be compromised by not only natural hazards but also changes in food preferences, political conflicts, and food frauds. In order to contribute to building a more sustainable food system—digitally visible and processes measurable—within this review, we summarized currently available evidence for various information and communication technologies (ICTs) that can be utilized to support collaborative actions, prevent fraudulent activities, and remotely perform real-time monitoring, which has become essential, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Internet of Everything, 6G, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital twin are gaining significant attention in recent years in anticipation of leveraging the creativity of human experts in collaboration with efficient, intelligent, and accurate machines, but with limited consideration in the food supply chain. Therefore, this paper provided a thorough review of the food system by showing how various ICT tools can help sense and quantify the food system and highlighting the key enhancements that Industry 5.0 technologies can bring. The vulnerability of the food system can be effectively mitigated with the utilization of various ICTs depending on not only the nature and severity of crisis but also the specificity of the food supply chain. There are numerous ways of implementing these technologies, and they are continuously evolving.

Industry 5.0 applications for sustainability: A systematic review and future research directions

“…Therefore, it helps to achieve social sustainability (Ghobakhloo et al, 2022;Guruswamy et al, 2022).…”

“…In the future, it can be applied as a descriptive tool to assess the influence of the event and characterize and measure the dynamics of the intended outcome before and after it. This approach has been suggested to examine the impacts of Kopacek, 2021;Thakur & Kumar Sehgal, 2021;Johri et al, 2021;Fraga-Lamas et al, 2021;Li et al, 2022;Iyengar et al, 2022;Coronado et al, 2022;Lu et al, 2022;Sindhwani et al, 2022;Petrillo et al, 2022;Henriksen et al, 2022;Jafari et al, 2022 Ecosystems advancement 7 (15%) Green manufacturing ( 2 Salimova et al, 2020;Longo et al, 2020;Cillo et al, 2021;Xu et al, 2021;Alvarez-Aros & Bernal-Torres, 2021;Battini et al, 2022;Huang et al, 2022;Kolade & Owoseni, 2022;Orso et al, 2022;Gagnidze & Tbilisi, 2022;Yuan et al, 2022;Grabowska et al, 2022;Waheed et al, 2022;Madhavan et al, 2022;Guruswamy et al, 2022;Zizic et al, 2022;Saniuk et al, 2022;Kaasinen et al, 2022;Akundi et al, 2022;Ivanov, 2022 17 (36%) The previous studies utilized observations, in-depth interviews, and case study methods (Cillo et al, 2021;Kolade & Owoseni, 2022;Salimova et al, 2020). Industry 5.0 for sustainability used techniques like interviews, which are not practically viable.…”

“…The existing studies discussed the advent and development of Industry 5.0; efforts are being made to combine human experience with accurate, precise, and intelligent robots to produce manufacturing solutions that are both resource-efficient and user-preferred (Gagnidze & Tbilisi, 2022;Guruswamy et al, 2022;Ivanov, 2022).…”

Where to Place Monitoring Sensors for Improving Complex Manufacturing Systems? Discussing a Real Case in the Food Industry

“…A food system, as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization, is a group of individuals and the actions they engage in order to produce, gather, process, distribute, consume, and dispose of food items [ 54 ]. The complexity of food systems, which include many processes, value chains, players, and interactions, is implied by this.…”

“…The complexity of food systems, which include many processes, value chains, players, and interactions, is implied by this. When integrated into the architecture of the food supply chain, sensors are one of the data acquisition technologies that make it possible to collect, process, store, and analyze data [ 54 ]. The use of sensors in the food industry is in its early stages.…”
