Overview
The concept of Food Value Chain (FVC) refers to the series of process to create additional value to agricultural products, from the stage of breeding, food production, food processing, distribution, retailing and up to consumption. By implementing advanced technologies such as IoT and Big Data, the food value chain can be utilized smartly to improve the distribution system itself and further increase the added value of agricultural products. Smart Food Value Chain (SFVC) contributes to improve the QoL of farmers in Asia, especially those who produce agricultural crops in small scale fields.
The one-day online symposium will have keynote speeches by the speakers from Wageningen University & Research (WUR) followed by the presentations by the experts from the Asia-Pacific region on (1) Latest progress on installation of SFVC, (2) Transportation system, processing technologies and a supply chain for promoting export of agricultural products, (3) Recent trend in consumer preference, smart food marketing and international standardization to expand agricultural export.
