The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) is organizing the National Conference on ‘FOOD TECH: Nextgen Technologies for a Sustainable Food Processing Sector’ on 18 December 2024 at at Hotel Le-Meridien in New Delhi. The event brings together key stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, and food technology innovators to discuss and promote sustainable advancements in food processing.
The food processing sector is the backbone of India’s agricultural economy, acting as a critical link between the farm and the consumer. As one of the largest industries in the country, it plays a vital role in enhancing rural income, generating employment, reducing food wastage, and ensuring food security for a rapidly growing population. In addition, the sector holds immense potential for exports, contributing significantly to India’s goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2025. However, the sector also faces several challenges that require urgent attention.
With the advent of Industry 4.0, the food processing sector is witnessing a paradigm shift through the integration of emerging technologies. Innovations such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced data analytics are revolutionizing the way food is processed, packaged, stored, and distributed. These technologies not only enhance productivity and quality but also address critical issues like food safety, traceability, and energy efficiency.
This national-level event aims to accelerate the adoption of next-generation technologies, promote sustainable practices, and drive innovation across the food processing industry. By doing so, it will contribute to the realization of the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, fostering a competitive and future-ready food processing sector that is globally recognized for its quality, innovation, and sustainability.
