Driven by growing awareness of health, environmental sustainability and ethical considerations; the global food landscape has undergone a significant transformation in the last decade or so. At the heart of this shift is the rise of plant-based nutrition, a trend that has been significantly bolstered by technological advancements. From precision agriculture to innovative food processing, technology is playing a pivotal role in making plant-based diets more accessible, nutritious and appealing to a broader audience. Precision Agriculture and Genetic Engineering The journey of plant-based nutrition starts in the fields, where precision agriculture has revolutionized how crops are grown. This technology incorporates data analytics, AI, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices to optimize farming practices. Farmers can now monitor soil health, water usage, and crop growth with unprecedented accuracy, leading to higher yields and more nutrient-dense plant products. Genetic engineering complements this by enabling the development of crops with enhanced nutritional profiles.…
