AI and Data for Sustainable Protein from Agri-food Sidestreams

24 Jun 2026
Food and agricultural manufacturers generate millions of tonnes of by-products each year, much of which remains underutilised despite its potential value. This session explores how AI, data science and technical document mining are being used to unlock hidden opportunities within manufacturing sidestreams and convert them into sustainable protein ingredients.
