Artificial intelligence (AI) will play an important part in the future in optimising processes within the food industry. It can lengthen the shelf life of food by allowing precise control of temperature and humidity, for example. AI analyses huge amounts of data in real time in order to guarantee optimum recipes and storage conditions and minimise spoiling.

Corporations like Unilever, PepsiCo and Colgate-Palmolive have already announced that they will not be able to meet their targets by 2025.
