A new comment piece published in npj Science of Food co-authored by researchers including CSER's Catherine Richards and CSER affiliate Asaf Tzachor explore the role that digital twins could play in transforming agricultural production systems across different agrifood supply chains.
Abstract
Digital twins can transform agricultural production systems and supply chains, curbing greenhouse gas emissions, food waste and malnutrition. However, the potential of these advanced virtualization technologies is yet to be realized. Here, we consider the promise of digital twins across six typical agrifood supply chain steps and emphasize key implementation barriers.
