Protein Industries Canada is looking to amp up artificial intelligence technology, and how that can impact Canada's food sector, with a $10 million dollar call to action.
A $10 million dollar investment will focus on novel AI that could accelerate the commercialization of new plant-based ingredients and food, helping make Canada’s plant-based food sector more efficient and sustainable.
“By bringing the use of artificial intelligence technology further up the value chain into ingredient and food development, Canadian companies can advance innovation in the plant-based food, feed, and ingredient sector,” Protein Industries Canada CEO Bill Greuel said. “Finding new ways to utilize AI technology in food and ingredient development will enable companies to speed up their formulation work, lower their inputs and other production costs, and make their operations more sustainable.”
So far, Protein Industries Canada says the technology has proven to speed up ingredient and recipe formulation and is showing potential in the areas of food safety and quality assurance. Potential industry-led projects under the newest AI call may include the following:
