From Farm to Table: A Revolutionized Food Journey
"From Farm to Table: A Revolutionized Food Journey" is an infographic that explores how physical computing technology is transforming the food industry. The piece is divided into four primary sections: an introduction supported by statistical insights of the Food Automation Market in 2022-2023, a timeline that highlights how emerging technologies have evolved over the decades, a section that explores how various physical computing applications is being used on the farm, during transport, in the processing plant, and at the retailer, and a final section that summarizes the impact these technologies have in the industry.
With a detailed illustration breaking down the food journey stages (which was created on the 3D modelling software, Blender), this infographic provides a concise and visually engaging overview of the ways in which technology is revolutionizing the way we produce, transport, and consume food.
