Deep Dive - Reducing Food Losses Through Digitisation

Globally, about one third of all food produced is lost during production, post-harvest, processing, retail or consumer handling. This corresponds to 1.3 billion tons of food lost. Due to the growing world population and the environmental impacts associated with food production, food losses should be reduced. There are many approaches to achieve this. Many involve digitalization and artificial intelligence. How do digital measures specifically contribute to reducing food losses? How great is their potential to enrich the value chain in other ways as well? This event has answers for you.
