Nanofood and Internet of Nano Things

Abstract

An increased worldwide population will lead to significantly higher global demands for food, water, and arable land. A projected increase of 70% in food production by 2050 (Tzounis et al. in Internet of Things in agriculture, recent advances and future challenges. Biosyst Eng 164:31–48,2017) will put enormous pressure on the global agri-food sector due to the scarcity of natural resources, population growth, and climate change. Assuring required amount of safe, quality, and affordable food is a key societal challenge and a top priority for food processors and distributors. To accomplish this goal, a continuous work on finding innovative methods for increasing the production and achieving sustainable food supply chain is required. Sustainable agri-food sector encompasses economic growth, environmental protection, and social justice. Hence, there is a demand for novel approaches for agriculture inputs’ management (e.g., optimal use of resources such as water, energy, and agrochemicals), farming practices, food processing, packaging, distribution, and storage as well as social and policy decisions that will assure efficiency, affordability, quality, diversity, traceability, and economic viability.
