Agricultural production systems worldwide are confronted with the challenge of meeting growing demand due to rising population, urbanisation, changing diets, and increased consumption of animal-based food and processed goods, while ensuring environmental sustainability through enhanced resource-use efficiency. Current agricultural production systems and food-supply chains are recognised as inefficient and unsustainable—causing severe environmental impacts and threatening the well-being of all earthlings—since the resources consumed are disproportionately high compared to the food and non-food products produced. Similar challenges exist in the edible-food-supply chain of production and catering. Numerous factors, such as climate change, soil infertility, and low fertiliser-promotion efficiency pose adverse impacts on the efficiency of agricultural food production and food-supply chains (Min et al., 2023). Emerging artificialintelligence technologies may enhance resource-use efficiency, food systems, and various other aspects of food production, processing, logistics, and consumption along the edible-food-supply chain (Chowdhury et al., 2023).
