Thinking green. The future of food?
The food & beverage industry is facing pressure on all sides. Demands for sustainability, safety and healthiness are complemented by the pressing need to be part of the solution in our climate crisis.
Our expert article covers what tackling the challenges of feeding an increasingly urban and affluent global population entails.
Webcast: The future of food
How will our food be produced? Can food production help alleviate the climate crisis? Will vertical and urban farming change our landscape? Could vat-grown meat make food crises a thing of the past? What will we eat on Mars?
All these and more is covered in an intensively visionary panel discussion. Together with Dr. Lauri Reuter, Ph.D. a visionary biotechnology scientist of Singularity University and Vaisala's Jutta Hakkarainen & Maria Uusimaa, directors of Liquid Measurements and Industrial Instruments, respectively, talk about tackling the megatrend-level challenges facing not just the food & beverage industry, but all of our planet.
Agriculture & primary production
Today's farmers are managers who need to ensure stable conditions for a good yield of high-quality produce and animal welfare.
Monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2), relative humidity, and temperature sets conditions in greenhouses and vertical farming facilities, as well as inside livestock facilities to a new level of primary agricultural production.

Transportation, storage & safety
Shelf-life of produce, its freshness, taste and safety for consumption are greatly defined by the transportation and storage conditions. Accurate monitoring and control of temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide ensure proper preservation of food items, timely ripening of fruits and vegetables and seasonal food variety for consumers in different destinations and working safety for storage and production personnel.

Food & beverages processing
Here you will find information on how to enable sustainability and efficiency of food and beverages processing.
Measure the critical processing parameters such as in-line Brix and dry solids or total solids in liquid food and beverages processing, humidity and dew point in drying processes, and carbon dioxide (CO2) in production and refrigeration facilities, and ensure efficiency and safety of production, eliminate food waste and reduce use of energy.

Retail & hospitality
For maintaining high product quality, productivity, safety and overall well-being of the staff, customers and contractors, and to achieve operational cost efficiency and reduce environmental footprint, food retail needs to be equipped with reliable and stable carbon dioxide monitoring instruments that offer low cost of ownership. For example, refrigerator leakage can be controlled using our probes with a unique certified technology.

Food waste to value
The agricultural waste from primary production and food waste from the processing can be used to produce biogas. As by-products of the anaerobic digestion, high nutrient-content fertilizer is received and can be used by farms to replace resource-heavy fertilizers. The biogas, in its turn, can be used to generate electricity and district heating.
Moreover, the biogas can be upgraded to fuel-grade biomethane.
