Don't Waste It:New technologies can help tackle the issue of global food shortages and make food businesses more profitable

摘要

Supermarkets of the near future will have their business models radically reshaped by innovations in-store, online and in the food industry supply chain. These technologies will be deployed in the battle for customers but, more than this, can also benefit the planet. This will be achieved by improving sustainability—a buzzword that is widely overused, but that really can mean something in supermarkets and the supply chain. Producing and selling food will become more environmentally responsible because sustainability and profitability both depend on the efficient use of resources.
