Investigating IT Issues Affecting Food Processing in Australia

This report identifies and discusses IT-related issues in the Australian food industry, highlighting challenges such as food security, economic and environmental concerns in SME supply chains, nanotechnology implementation, water usage management, and the influence of innovation on traditional food chains. It emphasizes the importance of developing IT infrastructure and workforce, conducting agricultural research, and considering food production technology to enhance productivity and address issues like soil degradation and climate variability. The report concludes that smart application of information technology, minimal government subsidies, and an innovative culture are crucial for strengthening the food processing sector and contributing to global and regional food security, suggesting Australia leverage its IT and agricultural expertise to overcome these challenges.

IT related
issues in food
industries
(Australia)

1. Introduction:
The nation of Australia comprises of
primary strengths as per food
production. This involves the high
standards of food security, skilled
workforce and quality of raw
materials. The following
presentation involves the following.
In the following presentation various
IT related problems of the Australian
food industry are considered.

 Issues in the current area
 Importance of the research
 Things to be involved in the
research
 Ways to perform the research

2. Discussion on the issues:
There are certain areas
of food safety that are
never taken care of.
 Technology has been
bringing various
drawbacks.
 Lack of handling of
technology that
could have brought
positive outcomes.

3. Why this research is important:
Aspects of being involved in the
elements that are involved in the
research:
 The issues of food security for fresh
producing.
 Economical and environment issues
that have been originating from the
supply chains of the SME’s.
 The nanotechnology has been
implemented to of production and
reviewing of regulatory and ethical
problems.
 Overviewing the usage of water and
managing wastewater in the beverage
and food industry.
 Influencing of quality over the
capacity of innovation in conventional
food chains.

4. Ways to perform the research:
Recommend solutions:
 Developing IT infrastructure:
 It has been playing an important role to move the commodities.
This takes place in a cost-effective and efficient way. There is
also access to sufficient infrastructure that s completed for
ensuring as Australian agriculture has been competitive (Cullen
et al., 2015).
 Developing a workforce of IT:
 There must be considerable attribution in doing research in this
subject area. This can make future implications for the future
supply of professionals, scientists and researchers in this area.
 Conducting agricultural development and research:
 There are lag effects originating from Research and
Development investment towards the gain of productivity. Here,
the revitalizing of investments in this area has been vital to loft
the output of food.
 Considering the food production technology in Australia:
 The further rise in food production has been reliable in
productivity gains. This provides the indication of capacity in
harnessing physical and human resources. This is helpful to
create the growth of output (Mancosu et al. 2015).

Conclusion:
 It is already witnessed that food production in the nation has
been challenging. The reason is that the solid has turned to be
infertile and ancient and the climate is variable and harsh. Here,
the food producing areas have been degraded because of the
salinity, acidification and soil erosion. Nonetheless, the smart
application of the present research having effective information
technology with minimum government subsidies and innovative
culture can make the food industry a major industry. Australia
must make use of the best IT and agricultural expertise to
strengthen the food processing sector along with contributing to
global and regional food security.
