1. Data to action

 

Collecting data is only the start of data driven innovations. Data is an enables for various actions in the agrifood value chain. Data can be used for forecasting of weather, yield and demand, but also as activator for robots and cobots in the field and factory. For this theme we focus on examples and developments that are putting data to action.

 

 

2. Data to trust

 

With the collection of data comes responsibility. The use of data can support creating more transparency in the food value chain. But who is the owner of this data and how can we exchange data in a safe way? And how do regulations for privacy impact this data exchange?
For this theme we focus on examples and developments that are supporting a safe and fair distribution of data and help to build trust between partners in the agrifood value chain.

 

 

3. Data and skills

 

With an increasing use of data and artificial intelligence old jobs (heavy, repetitive and often dangerous) are replaced with new jobs. Training and skills development is essential for these employees. And these new jobs often require a different managerial style. For this theme we focus on the new skill set needed and the role of educational and training centers in this transition.

The Food System of the Future

Ian Proudfoot

Global head of Agribusiness, KPMG

 

Producing more high quality, sustainable, accessible, nutritious food while utilising less natural resource and delivering enhanced and more fulfilling career opportunities means the food system globally has entered a period of fundamental change. Technology will play a critical role in reshaping the food we grow, how and where it is grown, the approaches that are taken to processing and distribution and how food is consumed.
