How will we feed ourselves in the upcoming years, when there are 10 billion people on earth? How can the sustainability of the global food system provide healthy nutrition to the entire world population over the next fifteen years? How will technology change the agri-food value chain? These are some of the most important challenges affecting an industry that represents 11% of world GDP and with expected demand growth of 70% four years from now. Technology becomes a key driver and a crucial ally to face the current challenges of the food sector.
Technologies 4.0, the importance of healthy food, sustainable and efficient food production or the fight against climate change are some of the challenges that are deeply transforming the food industry. The digitalization of the European food industry will have an impact of more than 300,000 million Euros between 2021 and 2025.
