Big Data Applications in Food Safety and Quality

Big data and data analytics has evolved to become an indispensable facet across all industries, enabling new advances in management strategies, product development, and data insight that has never before been possible. Traditionally, scientists have approached scientific questions by formulating a hypothetical model and carefully designing experiments to accept or reject the proposed model. The more modern statistical method, fueled by the big data revolution, is to refrain from relying on hypothetical models and allow the data itself to identify pertinent variables and patterns that shape the observed outcome.
