Synergistic digital innovations for enhanced safety and quality in organic food production systems
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper examines the synergistic integration of digital technologies in organic food production systems through a comprehensive literature review. We analyzed how IoT sensors, blockchain traceability, artificial intelligence, and integrated platforms collectively address organic agriculture’s unique safety and quality challenges. Our findings demonstrate significant benefits, including 72-hour early contamination detection, 92% reduced authentication time, and 18% improved nutritional retention. Our analysis identifies four key technological clusters (data acquisition technologies, verification systems, analytical platforms, and application interfaces) that collectively enable predictive contamination prevention, quality optimization, and transparent verification exceeding conventional systems. While implementation faces challenges, including digital literacy limitations and infrastructure constraints, our research indicates that strategic digital integration enhances organic food safety and quality while supporting sustainable rural development and preserving core organic principles.
