World Food Day 2024

There is enough for everyone. Theoretically.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), global agriculture produces enough food to feed the world’s population. However, 783 million people are still at risk of hunger - most of them poor farming households. How can automation technology help to improve this precarious, unequal situation?

With automation: protecting the environment, conserving resources

Automation solutions are crucial for increasing efficiency and sustainability in food production. With easy-to-use automation technology and easy-to-implement complete solutions, farms can optimise their production processes, reduce their impact on the environment, conserve resources and improve food quality.

A win-win for the entire food chain

A positive effect that benefits all stakeholders along the entire food chain. Everyone benefits from reliable automation in the downstream processes - from processing to transport and distribution. As a result, food safety is maintained, waste is minimised and more food is available to the global community.

With our products, solutions and expertise, we want to help make the FAO’s vision of ensuring access to nutritious food for all a reality. To provide sufficient food for present and future generations.

Our goal is to make food safe and available at all times. I think that IO-Link will play a very important role in the future to get more sensor data from the components and reduce food safety risks.

80 per cent of our customers say that they are switching from animal-based proteins to plant-based proteins in their diet. We needed the best technologies on the market to build a factory that would last for decades. Working with ifm gives us the advantage of close contacts, technical solutions and fast responses, which are very useful and help us to move the project forward. When modernising the production capacities, it was crucial to use the latest high-end technologies.
