Metrology in global food system to achieve the SDGs

Abstract

Measurements have been carried out since the dawn of humanity. Metrology, the science of measurements, plays a critical role in various domains, including global food systems. The article focuses on the significance of metrology in the production, distribution, and transportation of food for a growing global population, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors examine the metrological infrastructure, the digital transformation of metrology, and their roles in addressing the evolving needs of the global food system.
