Inhaltsangabe

Digital food systems are at the forefront of humanity's most pressing challenge: feeding nearly ten billion people by 2050 on a warming, resource-constrained planet. This book offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary account of how digital technologies are reshaping agriculture, supply chains, nutrition, and food governance in the twenty-first century. Grounded in empirical evidence, field deployments, and policy analysis from across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Global North, the book examines the transformative potential of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, remote sensing, blockchain, digital marketplaces, and financial technologies (FinTech). It evaluates not only what these technologies can do, but how they are actually working in practice - from smallholder farms in India and Sub-Saharan Africa to sophisticated supply chains in North America and Europe. The book is organized into fifteen comprehensive chapters that progress from foundational concepts to cutting-edge applications, critical challenges, governance frameworks, and future directions. Each chapter draws on the latest peer-reviewed research.
