Abstract
In recent years, there have been a number of challenges that have posed a danger to the food security of the globe. These issues include the growing population of the world, the consequences of climate change, and the emergence of new pandemics. Because of this, it is of utmost importance that we come up with innovative strategies to strengthen the food system's resilience in the face of these challenges. The technologies that underpin the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0) are causing widespread upheaval throughout a wide range of production and consuming businesses, including the food and agriculture industries. This chapter will provide a general overview of green technology and Industry 4.0 strategies, focusing on how they apply to the food sector. We are going to focus on and investigate the linkages between green food technologies, such as green preserving, processing, extraction, and analysis, and the enablers of Industry 4.0, such as artificial intelligence, big data, smart sensors, robotics, blockchain, and the Internet of Things. Green food technologies include those that preserve food without the use of harmful chemicals, as well as those that extract and analyze food's constituents. The Sustainable Development Goals (also known as SDGs) are relevant to these linkages. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve without the help of environmentally friendly technologies and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. These advances have the potential to speed up digital and ecological transitions in fast moving consumer goods, which will have positive effects not just on individuals but also on the planet. With the assistance of green and digital solutions, which are anticipated to be implemented at a larger rate in the next years, it is conceivable to realize a future that is not only more robust but also healthier, more intelligent, and friendlier to the environment.
