Looking into the future we will face huge challenges in the agrifood industry; growing population, harvest losses from climate crises, loss in arable land... Food is a limited resource. At imec we develop nanoelectronics and digital technologies which can help the food production ecosystem to optimize processes from farm to fork. Therefore we proudly support the HighFIVE Final Event ‘Smart Food Factory’ organised by Flanders’ FOOD and partners.
