Food and beverage brands are often focused on short-term gains rather than long-term sustainability goals. However, sustainability and profitability are interconnected, and the right tools can support the process of implementing sustainable strategies. IoT, blockchain, predictive analytics and other sensor technologies can optimize efficiencies, reduce waste and promote transparency in food systems, helping organizations decrease their environmental footprint while increasing profits in the long run. Global food supply chains account for one-third of human-produced greenhouse gas emissions each year, and food waste contributes to this environmental impact.
