Description
Abdo Hassoun, CEO at Sustainable AgriFoodtech Innovation & Research (SAFIR)Food Industry 5.0: Components, Opportunities, and Challenges examines the evolving paradigm in the agri-food sector, focusing on a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable future. Building on the integration of physical, digital, and biological advances characteristic of Food Industry 4.0, this book emphasizes how Industry 5.0 advances these foundations by prioritizing social and environmental sustainability through multidisciplinary approaches. It addresses the growing need for a comprehensive understanding of enabling technologies and their applications, filling a critical gap for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, guiding the transition toward more inclusive and sustainable food systems.This book is structured in three parts. Part I outlines the core principles of Food Industry 5.0, including enhancing human-centricity, fostering resilience in food systems, and mapping a pathway to sustainability. Part II explores the evolutionary trajectory from Industry 4.0 to 5.0, covering advancements such as the shift from weak artificial intelligence to artificial superintelligence, the expansion from the Internet of Things to the Internet of Everything, the emergence of cooperative robots and advanced drones, and innovations in 4D food printing and beyond. Part III evaluates whether Industry 5.0 represents a current trend or a future opportunity, discussing challenges in adopting enabling technologies and suggesting directions for future research and implementation.This book provides valuable insights for researchers and food specialists engaged in multidisciplinary innovation within agriculture and the food industry. It serves as a rich resource for professors and lecturers developing advanced curricula that integrate digital, physical, and biological sciences. Moreover, this book is an essential guide for policymakers and regulatory authorities aiming to establish frameworks that emphasize human well-being, sustainability, and collaborative innovation.• Presents a comprehensive overview of Food Industry 5.0 foundations and driving principles• Explores evolutionary technological advancements from Industry 4.0 to 5.0• Analyzes challenges and future directions for implementing Industry 5.0 in food systems• Offers multidisciplinary perspectives integrating social, environmental, and technological aspects• Provides practical insights for researchers, educators, policymakers, and industry professionals
