Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to address various challenges in the food industry, particularly in the development of eco-friendly processes of sustainable food systems. With the growing concern for environmental sustainability and food security, there is a need for the food industry to adopt sustainable practices that reduce wastes, preserve resources, and improve the overall efficiency of food production, processing, and packaging to meet the needs of the growing human populations without compromising the ability of future generations. Within this context, this chapter delves into the utilization of artificial intelligence to construct sustainable food systems. It emphasizes the new trends of AI applications to qualitatively and quantitatively optimize key elements of sustainable food systems.
