Food Chain Sensing Technology

How sensors increase productivity, detect pathogens and more.


Modern sensor technology is having an increasingly positive impact on all stages of food production from agriculture through animal welfare and veterinary medicine to food quality control and pathogen detection. Technologies employed range from hyperspectral imaging using drones to inground sensors for water and soil nutrients to Point-of-Care sensors for identifying pathogens in animals and food. Data analysis is utilised for imaging, IoT networks, with AI and Blockchain fulfilling essential roles. The control of the impact of agriculture and food production on the environment are now ecognised requirements where sensors play an essential role.

Be Part of the FARM to TABLE SENSING TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE



The STFT23 Conference objectives

1. Focus attention on exisiting applications of sensor technology in the food chain, and companies which support these applications, through a virtual conference and associated media coverage. Technology providers encompass multi-national organisations through early stage start-up companies.
2. Identify sensor related research activities which have the potential to increase food chain productivity.
3. Provide an opportunity for graduate students to participate in an international conference through a Poster competition.

Call for papers [Now closed; Poster applications until June 23]

Submit a 200 word Abstract by 12 May on any of the above topics, or a related topic.

The top 20 Poster Abstracts (submit100 words) will be selected to present during the conference; all Posters will be entered into a delegate judged competition.
