Welcome
Sensor technology is ubiquitous. Today, sensors are found in the home,
cars, cities, hospitals and in many manufacturing processes. They also
are having an increasingly important role in agriculture and food
production.
Sensors in Food and Agriculture brought together academic and
commercial experts to discuss current applications and future
opportunities for sensor technology in the food supply chain.
This slide presentation is a concise summary of the Conference
proceedings for delegates and for those who were unable to join us. I
hope you will find it informative.

Delegates Approved
“The Food Standards Agency found the conference to be very useful. The Agency is
interested in whether sensor technology may offer the opportunity to improve its regulatory
approach, and enable consumers’ interests to be better protected whilst reducing regulatory
burdens, so it was invaluable to gain a better understanding of cutting edge work in this
area.” Robin Linacre, The Food Standards Agency.
“Many thanks for organising a good conference – great talks and a number of good contacts
made. It definitely broadened my knowledge of sensors and applications in the agri food
space.” Mike Simms, NeuDrive Ltd.
“The SIFAA conference struck a balance of great speakers and panel members presenting
interesting content and ideas, valuable networking opportunities, and a pleasant
environment. As always with a Sensor100 organised event, the attention to detail, and
commitment to delegates, speakers and exhibitors, made it enjoyable too.”
Leonie Hilliard, Scienion.
