Why do we need food systems informatics? Introduction to this special collection on smart and connected regional food systems
In this 2023 paper published in Sustainability, Tomich et al. describe the concept of food systems informatics (FSI) within the context of a collection of this and other paper published as a special collection in the journal. Noting many challenges to improving and transforming food systems, as well as the potential for informatics applications to play an important role, the authors describe five use cases of FSI and discuss the potential outcomes and impacts of developing and implementing FSI platforms in these and other use cases. Finally, the authors draw six major conclusions from their work, as well as several caveats about FSI implementation going forward. They argue that FSI definitely has potential as "a tool to enhance equity, sustainability, and resilience of food systems through collaborative, user-driven interaction, negotiation, experimentation, and innovation within food systems." However, the scope of FSI must be expanded to include " food systems security, privacy, and intellectual property considerations" in order to have the greatest impact.
