Food Informatics—Review of the Current State-of-the-Art, Revised Definition, and Classification into the Research Landscape

<i>Background:</i> The increasing population of humans, changing food consumption behavior, as well as the recent developments in the awareness for food sustainability, lead to new challenges for the production of food. Advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence...
