Modern sensor technology is improving all aspects of food production, from agriculture to animal welfare and veterinary care to food quality management and disease detection. The technologies used range from hyperspectral imaging with drones to in-ground sensors for water and soil nutrients to Point-of-Care sensors for detecting diseases in animals and food.
Data analysis is used in imaging and IoT networks, with AI and Blockchain playing critical roles. Controlling the environmental impact of agricultural and food production is now a recognised requirement, and sensors play an important role.
