Özet
Currently, agrifood systems find themselves at an unprecedented crossroads of challenges stemming from climate change, dwindling resources, the rapid growth of the global population, and the emergence of pandemics and conflicts, among other factors. These global challenges underscore the urgent necessity to seek novel and alternative approaches for tackling or, at the very least, alleviating the profound environmental, social, and economic dilemmas they pose. As a result, Industry 4.0 and its enabling technologies have attracted tremendous attention from researchers and the academic community in recent times. This chapter is intended to provide a general overview of recent applications of Industry 4.0 and green technologies in different food sectors and to show how these technological innovations can be used to foster automation and digitalization. A special focus will be put on the role of this technologies in providing innovative solutions to enhance food sustainability and circular economy. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
