Reducing food waste with AIAn area where AI has made inroads is in reducing food loss. Harvard’s Nutrition Source[3] website defines food ‘loss’ as that occurring before the food reaches the consumer as a result of issues in the production, storage, processing, and distribution phases. Food ‘waste’ refers to food that is fit for consumption but then discarded at the retail or consumption phases. AI can optimize inventory management, which goes a long way toward eliminating waste since stores will better meet consumer demand, thereby reducing excess inventory and in turn, food waste.
