Food is safeguarded from environmental threats as it travels along the supply chain and reaches the final consumer in traditional packaging. However, as it does not add value to the contents, it is passive. Science is changing this now by enabling food and packaging to speak. Technology is increasingly playing a vital role as the supply chain becomes digitalized because it provides operational benefits that enable organizations to react to dynamic market conditions.
