ABSTRACT
Food is essential to the survival of the world population. There are several processes in order to make food available to consumers: for example, production, transportation, and consumption. Since the global demand of food is always on the rise, there is a need to improve the efficiency in all the processes in food industries. For example, the food production industries are often not equipped with the right decision-making tools to allow farmers to properly deal with important factors such as environmental changes. On the other hand, tools are not difficult to create but can be very challenging to be successfully adopted by the professionals, especially when the tools require them to change their normal work practices. In this SIG, we will discuss how HCI can improve food product industries with suitable information for each food process. \

Designing Sustainable Food Systems
CHI EA '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThere is significant interest in designing technologies for the food system, from agricultural modeling tools to apps enabling humans to assess nutritional value of various food choices to drones for pest detection. However, a good food system must be a ...
Food, Photography and the Indian Pastoral
This article focuses on the relationship between Kheti Badi-a series of images produced by photo-based artist Chinar Shah based on the online Facebook game FarmVille-and the contemporary context of image making, agriculture and food production. In today'...
Food and interaction design: designing for food in everyday life
CHI EA '12: CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsFood and interaction design presents an interesting challenge to the HCI community in attending to the pervasive nature of food, the socio-cultural differences in food practices and a changing global foodscape. To design for meaningful and positive ...
