Optica Online Industry Meeting: Food industry: Precision Agriculture and Food Safety

15 April 2025 10:00 - 11:30
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)The Optica Online Industry Meeting on Food Indsutry: Precision Agriculture and Food Safety brings together the optics and photonics community with key stakeholders in the food industry to explore how advanced optical technologies are revolutionizing the entire food cycle, from agriculture and livestock to food processing, safety, and distribution. Through brief, focused presentations from innovators and end users, we will uncover how cutting-edge tools, such as hyperspectral imaging, laser-induced fluorescence, LiDAR, and advanced optical sensors, revolutionize crop monitoring, soil analysis, livestock diagnostics, and food quality control.
The program features voices from global food producers, agritech startups, applied researchers, and disruptive innovators, building a narrative around the industry's most pressing challenges and the technologies poised to solve them. Discussions will also explore breakthroughs in cultivated meat, precision fermentation, and bioproduction, alongside scalable solutions for real-time diagnostics, robotic weed control, and smart food processing.
Join us for this dynamic session to engage directly with industry leaders and technology experts shaping a more sustainable, efficient, and secure food system through optics and photonics.
