The following report is from Meat and Poultry:
An estimated 80 billion lbs of food is wasted every year in the United States, but the use of smart packaging can help reduce this, according to Richard Freundlich, executive director of supply chains with Rabobank.
Speaking on April 12 at the North American Meat Institute’s virtual Meat Industry Summit, Freundlich said this waste equates to about $219 per person or $1,600 per family. Additionally, 335,000 tons of food is wasted annually during manufacturing, and 155,000 tons of this is preventable and caused by factors such as biocontamination or mislabeling.
Packaging is related to some of this waste as food in larger packages is more likely to be discarded after opening, Freundlich said. Given this, the industry is looking at how to use packaging to be part of the food waste solution.
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, active packaging specifically refers to the ability of the package to interact with its environment, often through controlling the amount of UV light, oxygen, or moisture exposure to the food inside. This increased ability of the packaging to interact with and control the environment can extend shelf life and reduce food waste.
Intelligent packaging refers to communication with the world outside the package, perhaps through giving consumers information on temperature, freshness, or any potential exposure the food had to microbes. It can also be used to provide a link to automation using barcodes, QR codes, or even augmented reality to enhance the consumer experience.
Intelligent packaging can be used to reduce food waste. We are seeing a digital revolution where connected packaging is being used more and more.
Richard Freundlich
Given consumers’ current concerns about food safety during the pandemic, on-package indicators of potential exposure to microbes are certainly in demand.
(Smart packaging) can ultimately increase shelf life, improve quality and provide on-demand information. It enhances the brand connection and gives loyalty to the customer.
Overall, he said many smaller brands are using such packaging to differentiate products in the market and gain acceptance.
With all the new technology going into packaging, companies are also looking to combine this with sustainable packaging materials. Freundlich said there are not any industry discussions surrounding packaging that do not involve sustainability, and new technologies such as advanced recycling are being used.
Freundlich also discussed Blockchain as a method of monitoring food waste, and while it is not the only way to monitor waste, it is the most secure. However, he said the industry has been slow to adopt this trend.
He said the trend toward smart packaging will continue to grow in the future. The global smart packaging market was valued at $2.57 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach $5.66 billion in 2024.

[6] For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

To anyone that can see what is going, especially keeping in mind some of the other things we have reported on, this all has to do with total control. Now the packaging of our food will be able to communicate with the smart fridge in the smart house, that is connected to the smart grid, that is transmitted to the handlers that can spy on you for potentially wasting your food, thereby lowering your “social credit score.”

This is another subtle chipping away at our freedoms and subtly infringing on what people will be purchasing, because, if our beef patties are be monitored by the grid police, then that will cause less people to eat meat. See how the game is played? Hooray for “innovation!”
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.1 Timothy 4:1-5

If only someone from the 18th century could read this. We have really “progressed” and “evolved” haven’t we?
Historically, most of our local communities & family farms had a system loosely based upon the old gleaning laws of the Bible; just like the bankruptcy laws were based loosely on the Jubilee and to keep things like the current debt industry from taking everything over. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-I worked on a family farm that specialized in strawberry & potato production, also running a produce stand through the summer when I was a teen. Their practice was to send small potatoes that were edible but not marketable, or things that didn’t sell & were on the verge of being wasted to the county home where orphans & indigent elderly folks lived, preparing foods coming in so donated, as well as cultivating a lot of their own food. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— They were shocked when the State mandated they couldn’t do that anymore: only grade A could be ‘donated’, and then things just began being dumped to truly go to waste. The same thing was happening to all manner of locally owned businesses & farms, from shoe stores to the five-and-dime’s & dry goods, to the farms. They were called ‘greedy’ and selfish for complaining. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————– But in reality it was a continuation of the corporatists & monopolists long slow march taking back control through socialism & the FDR programs, then Johnson’s. And after many of the family farms & businesses went under due to restructured banking, & the bloated bureaucracy receiving only ‘grade A’ extorted tax-dollar paid goods & services….& were bought up by the global corporatists, low and behold they suddenly became the ‘greedy’ and ‘selfish’ & put little stickers on every single itty-pitty piece of fruit or vegetable with UPC codes….and real charity & donations, encouragement to the indigent to become dignified & productive, lawful citizens was a real thing of the past with many of the descendents of the owners of those former farms now vo-ed ‘service industry’ employees on the corporate farms. Hmm. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Meanwhile, working teens such I had been, were steered into sports & clubs instead. The idea they should earn part of their own way, or aid their family, was said to be greedy & controlling etc. And the black op drug thing & promiscuity & porn promotion became huge. Immigrants began being imported to take on those jobs that ‘no Americans wanted’ which had been a rarity in our part of the country. I remember a situation in which my husband met a highly educated minority gentleman working in factory management who was formerly in a high income school district admin. He said he was there because he couldn’t stomach anymore how they were steering the kids & all monies into non-intellectual nonsense & sports, & away from real education, because it wasn’t good for the minorities, the community or the country….and no one would listen. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- But that was all crazy conspiracy stuff…and here we are.
