Event : 18 December 2025
The Higher School of Technology of Kenitra (EST-K) at Ibn Tofail University was pleased to host Dr. Daniel Onwude, affiliated with Digital for Planet (Switzerland) and the University of Guelph (Canada), for a scientific conference entitled “Redesigning Future Food Supply Chains via Simulations and Sensing”, held on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM at the EST-K.
This conference was part of the lecture series on physical modeling of food, aimed at promoting applied research and innovation in the fields of AgriTech and food systems engineering. During his presentation, Dr. Onwude highlighted the critical role of advanced simulation tools and sensing technologies in redesigning future food supply chains, addressing key challenges such as process optimization, loss reduction, traceability, resilience, and sustainability.
Through this event, Ibn Tofail University reaffirmed its commitment to research excellence, international openness, and knowledge exchange with leading global institutions. The conference provided students, faculty members, and researchers with a valuable opportunity to engage in high-level scientific discussions on emerging technologies shaping the future of food systems, further strengthening the position of the Higher School of Technology as a hub for innovation and sustainable development.
This conference aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Zero Hunger by addressing innovation in food supply chains to improve food availability, efficiency, and resilience. It also contributes to Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure through the use of advanced simulations and sensing technologies to modernize agri-food systems, and Responsible Consumption and Production by promoting strategies that reduce food loss and enhance sustainability across the supply chain. Through international research collaboration, the event further supports Partnerships for the Goals, reinforcing global cooperation in advancing sustainable and technology-driven food systems.
