ABSTRACT
The escalating global population, resource depletion, and climate change underscore the urgency of sustainable food systems. This review explores innovative solutions in food production, processing, and packaging to address food security challenges while minimizing environmental impact. Advances such as Agriculture 4.0, leveraging IoT, robotics, and precision agriculture, enhance resource efficiency and productivity. New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBTs) and non-thermal processing methods ensure higher yields, nutrient preservation, and safety with reduced environmental footprints. Sustainable packaging solutions, including biodegradable and edible materials, contribute to waste reduction and circular economy goals. Despite cultural and technical adoption barriers, these innovations align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, offering a pathway to equitable, resilient, and sustainable food systems. Enhanced investment, research, and policies are imperative for maximizing these technologies' potential and ensuring a secure food future.
