Innovations in the Food Industry to Combat Climate Change
In recent months, we’ve witnessed the growing impact of climate change, with record-breaking temperatures globally, marking some of the hottest conditions we’ve ever experienced. Many of these changes are a direct result of human activity, and one contributing factor is the food industry. However, in recent years, several measures have been implemented to reduce the ecological footprint left by this sector. As a gastronomy enthusiast, I wanted to explore the innovative measures the industry is implementing to mitigate these effects. One of the most significant approaches is sustainable agriculture, driven by technological advancements like precision farming. These technologies are reshaping food systems to address global challenges, such as climate change. And, as expected, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role. Among the companies leading the charge is Seabex, a French company offering solutions powered by AI based on data insights. This technology is specifically designed to support farmers, who are on the front lines of water scarcity and climate change. With this technology, farmers not only optimize water usage but also improve crop yields. According to a report by Medium, Seabex has demonstrated that this technology is already revolutionizing small-scale farming practices, reducing water usage by up to 20% and boosting
