Tech4Food: Why We Should Care

This IDC Perspective defines the concept of Tech4food and its main challenges that encompass all stakeholders in the value chain: production, distribution, and consumption. Engaging all industries is the road to gain efficiencies and other expanded benefits for the supply chain and the wider society. "Enhancing the partner ecosystem to augment a three-dimensional relationship with peers and suppliers, technology providers, and consumers/civil society is key not only for the retail industry, but also for the entire food value chain," said Ornella Urso, IDC Retail Insights lead."Technology plays a definitive role in enabling relationships, processes, and use cases. Technology can lead to a better food value chain. AI and machine learning, IoT sensors, robotics, and even data and analytics can enable a more productive, higher quality, and healthier food ecosystem," said Anielle Guedes, EMEA Cross-Industry Research Program lead.
