Food Industry 5.0: Components, Opportunities, and Challenges focuses on identifying potential enabling technologies that could be leveraged to shape the future of food in the coming years. Regenerative conversational artificial intelligence, the Internet of Everything, miniaturized and nanosensors, 4D printing, cobots and advanced drones, edge computing, redactable blockchain, metaverse and immersive techniques, 6G, cyber-physical-social systems, and cognitive digital twins are likely to be among the main driving technologies of Food Industry 5.0. Divided into three parts, the first one introduces the concept of Food Industry 5.0, its foundations, and driving principles, focusing on its three main components, mainly human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability. The second part identifies enabling technologies of Food Industry 5.0 and their evolutionary trajectories from the ongoing Food Industry 4.0 technologies. The main challenges in adopting Industry 5.0 technologies and future research directions will be presented in the third part. This book is an excellent resource that provides guidance and insightful perspectives to researchers, scholars, and students on the fundamentals of Industry 5.0 within agriculture and the food industry.
