Enhancing the Purpose of Food

Historically, agriculture and food systems were designed to produce food, fiber and fuel in abundance to ensure agricultural products were plentiful, affordable and accessible. Presently, agriculture and food systems have additional expectations with respect to supporting human health and lowering health care costs, protecting the environment, and

ensuring producer profitability. As highlighted by the 2015 National Academies Report1: A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System, achieving these outcomes will require knowledge of the complex, dynamic systems associated with food, human health, the environment and the economy, and their interactions. Next generation sensors and data science applications will be essential to position agriculture as the solution to human health, environmental health and economic health.
