Food Tank: The Think Tank for Food

Jacob Pechenik

Lettuce Grow

Google has convened the Refresh Working Group—40 farmers, nutritionists, retailers, researchers, and consumers—to collectively examine how AI is helping to improve the U.S. food system. Farmers today are using image recognition technologies to detect signs of bacteria or fungus—such as color change, wilting, or spots—to identify pests and plant diseases. Predictive ordering algorithms are modernizing food retail and helping to cut food waste in half. Natural language processing applications can read tweets and restaurant reviews in order to identify sources of food poisoning, and improve food safety inspections. The panel will include experts from Microsoft, Austin Food Policy Council, and Food Tank discussingtechnologies are transforming food production, distribution, and consumption.
