AI-Based Education for Sustainability and the Promotion of Lifestyle and Healthy Diet

Abstract

The literature is prolific in studies about the artificial intelligence (AI) applications, particularly to support formal education and develop adaptive lifelong learning environments by means of an array of flexible, inclusive, and interactive tools. AI-based education is assumed to be determinant for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), targeted for 2030, and supported by all 193 member states of the United Nations. This intelligent technology is expected to play a key role to raising awareness about the management of food discards and byproducts for a circular economy, thus optimizing the resources' efficiency and slowing down their economic, social, and environmental impacts. This chapter provides an overview of the AI applications and challenges to promote sustainable food habits and to monitor and manage local food byproducts suitable for human consumption to develop nutritional and healthy added-value outcomes.
