Many current food systems are unsustainable because they cause significant resource depletion and unacceptable environmental impacts. This problem is so severe, it can be argued that the food eaten today is equivalent to a fossil resource. The transition to sustainable food systems will require many changes but of particular importance will be the harnessing of internet technology, in the form of an ‘Internet of Food’, which offers the chance to use global resources more efficiently, to stimulate rural livelihoods, to develop systems for resilience and to facilitate responsible governance by means of computation, communication, education and trade without limits of knowledge and access. A brief analysis of the evidence of resource depletion and environmental impact associated with food production and an outline of the limitations of tools like life cycle assessment, which are used to quantify the impact of food products, indicates that the ability to combine data across the whole system from farm to human will be required in order to design sustainable food systems. Developing an Internet of Food, as a precompetitive platform on which business models can be built, much like the internet as we currently know it, will require agreed vocabularies and ontologies to be able to reason and compute across the vast amounts of data that are becoming available. The ability to compute over large amounts of data will change the way the food system is analysed and understood and will permit a transition to sustainable food systems.

审查粮食系统的可持续性和利用粮食互联网的过渡

当前的许多粮食系统是不可持续的,因为它们会导致大量的资源枯竭和不可接受的环境影响。这个问题是如此严重,可以说今天食用的食物等同于化石资源。向可持续粮食系统的过渡将需要做出许多改变,但尤为重要的是将以“粮食互联网”的形式利用互联网技术,这将使人们有机会更有效地利用全球资源,刺激农村生计,通过计算,通信,教育和贸易等方式,在没有知识和访问限制的情况下,开发弹性系统并促进负责任的治理。简要分析与粮食生产有关的资源枯竭和环境影响的证据,以及概述生命周期评估等工具的局限性(用于量化粮食产品的影响),表明可以将整个数据组合在一起为了设计可持续的食品系统,将需要从农场到人的整个系统。发展食品互联网,作为可以在其上构建业务模型的竞争性平台,就像我们目前所知的互联网一样,将需要商定的词汇表和本体论,以便能够推理和计算正在成为海量数据的大量数据。可用的。计算大量数据的能力将改变对食品系统进行分析和理解的方式,并将允许向可持续食品系统过渡。
