# [[Robotics]] and [[automation]]: Robotics and automation are being used to automate processes such as [[Packaging and labeling|packaging]], [[sorting]], and [[quality control]], which reduces [[labor costs]] and increases efficiency. These technologies also reduce the likelihood of contamination by reducing human contact with food.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Robotnik |date=2022-01-31 |title=Application of robotics in agriculture |url=https://robotnik.eu/robotics-applications-in-agriculture/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=Robotnik |language=en-US}}</ref>
# [[Blockchain]]: Blockchain technology is being used to improve [[food safety]] by providing transparency in the [[supply chain]]. This technology allows for [[Real-time locating system|real-time tracking]] of food products,
# [[Nanotechnology in agriculture|Nanotechnology]]: Nanotechnology is being used to develop new packaging materials that can extend the shelf life of food and reduce [[Food loss and waste|food waste]]. These materials can also be designed to be [[biodegradable]], reducing the environmental impact of packaging.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Food Systems |url=http://www.nifa.usda.gov/about-nifa/impacts/nanotechnology-agriculture-food-systems |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=National Institute of Food and Agriculture |language=en}}</ref>
# [[3D printing]]: 3D printing is being used to create custom food products and to make food production more efficient.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-18 |title=Can 3D Printing Revolutionise The Agriculture Industry? - Manufactur3D |url=https://manufactur3dmag.com/can-3d-printing-revolutionise-the-agriculture-industry/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=manufactur3dmag.com |language=en-US}}</ref> With 3D printing, it is possible to create complex shapes and designs that would be difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques.
