“The global food supply is calling for pioneering innovative technologies with great adaptability. Food safety and quality issues and evolving trends require the support and integration of foresighted, cross-disciplinary research with applications of big data, IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other innovations in the domain. Synergizing expertise and research power globally yet with regional considerations to tackle challenges with unprecedented determination and strength is a key to ensuring safe and quality food under this post-COVID-19 era.”
