Greener food with 5G
5G-technologies could deliver significant carbon savings across food and drink manufacturing from farm to fork , according to new economic modelling . The modelling reinforces the environmental benefits of 5G Standalone ( 5G SA ), particularly for key industries in the UK that are traditionally carbon intensive . Technologies like Internet of Things ( IoT ) sensors and tracking systems can transform the way we manage food and drink across the manufacturing supply chain – from its origins on the farm , through to factory production sites and transporting the food on UK roads to our stores . The new modelling reveals that 5G technologies could save the food and drink supply chain 37 million tonnes of CO2e equivalent emissions between 2024 and 2035 . That ’ s the same as removing
78,000 delivery trucks from UK roads . The modelling conducted by WPI Economics for Vodafone reveals the impact that these technologies can have on decarbonizing the supply chain .
