Food waste is a multifaceted global challenge impacting economies, environments, and societies. This session delves into the pivotal role of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies in reshaping the food supply chain. With a focus on prevention, rescue, and recycling, the discussion probes the avenues where AIDC technologies, such as IoT, RFID, and barcode systems, revolutionize waste mitigation strategies. These technologies enable real-time traceability, facilitating proactive measures from farm to consumer and empowering decision-making to curb unnecessary waste. Join us to delve into how AIDC technologies are pivotal in reshaping the narrative on food waste, empowering industries, governments, and communities toward a more sustainable and efficient future.
