FoodVibes: Wireless sensing and communication for food supply chain traceability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At Microsoft Research, we are working towards a fully digitized and connected supply chain for agriculture and food. With the growing human population, there is a need to responsibly and sustainably meet the global food demands. Towards this goal, FoodVibes identifies critical traceability points in the global Agri Food Industry that are responsible for inefficiency and applies technological innovation to address key challenges faced by the industry. By leveraging our research in wireless communication, battery-free and IoT sensing, we are establishing traceability for key metrics related to nutrition, sustainability, and quality of the food that nourishes the global population. Some of these key challenges being addressed include creating traceability from farm to fork, especially for bulk commodities like grain, tracking the produce environment during transport and storage with novel sensing infrastructure and a communication scheme to ensure global connectivity to support this supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
