Food Industry 5.0

Food Industry 5.0: Components, Opportunities, and Challenges, 1st Edition, authored by Abdo Hassoun, provides a systematic academic examination of next-generation food production systems. The book explores how the agri-food sector evolves beyond Industry 4.0 paradigms toward systems built on human-centric priorities, operational resilience, and environmental sustainability.

The text organizes its material across three thematic sections that connect foundational concepts to specialized technological tools. Initial chapters examine human-centric transformation alongside strategies for building resilient and sustainable food systems. The progression then shifts to technological advancements, detailing artificial superintelligence, the Internet of Everything, cobots, advanced drones, and 4D food printing. A final section evaluates adoption challenges, operational limitations, and future research directions across the agri-food sector.

Published by Academic Press in 2026, this 366-page work provides theoretical and practical context for researchers, food specialists, university professors, lecturers, and regulatory authorities.
