Description

AI in Food Systems: Transforming Production, Safety, Sustainability and Consumer Experience explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in all aspects of food systems, analyzing its impact on food production, safety, quality, sustainability, and consumer behavior. It examines how AI-driven technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and predictive analytics are revolutionizing agriculture, food processing, personalized nutrition, and supply chain management. As AI-driven innovations rapidly reshape the food industry, there is an urgent need for a resource that critically examines both opportunities and challenges, including ethical concerns, regulatory frameworks, and public perception. Rather than taking a topic-specific approach into aspects of AI in agriculture or food technology, this book takes a holistic approach, integrating insights from multiple disciplines to address the broader implications of AI on global food security, sustainability, and nutrition. By bridging gaps in current knowledge, AI and Food Systems: Transforming Production, Safety, Sustainability and Consumer Experience serves as a vital reference for academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and consumers, ensuring that AI’s role in food systems is both well-understood and responsibly harnessed for a more efficient, transparent, and equitable food future.
