“…Conventionally, the food system involves different actors and activities such as growing, processing, distributing, consuming, and disposing of food [ 55 , 56 ]. Natural hazards such as droughts, floods, disease, and wildfires pose serious risks to the agri-food sector.…”

The rapid growth of the world population has increased the food demand as well as the need for assurance of food quality, safety, and sustainability. However, food security can easily be compromised by not only natural hazards but also changes in food preferences, political conflicts, and food frauds. In order to contribute to building a more sustainable food system—digitally visible and processes measurable—within this review, we summarized currently available evidence for various information and communication technologies (ICTs) that can be utilized to support collaborative actions, prevent fraudulent activities, and remotely perform real-time monitoring, which has become essential, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Internet of Everything, 6G, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital twin are gaining significant attention in recent years in anticipation of leveraging the creativity of human experts in collaboration with efficient, intelligent, and accurate machines, but with limited consideration in the food supply chain. Therefore, this paper provided a thorough review of the food system by showing how various ICT tools can help sense and quantify the food system and highlighting the key enhancements that Industry 5.0 technologies can bring. The vulnerability of the food system can be effectively mitigated with the utilization of various ICTs depending on not only the nature and severity of crisis but also the specificity of the food supply chain. There are numerous ways of implementing these technologies, and they are continuously evolving.

“…The first is access to food, the second is availability, and the last is food utilization. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has now added a fourth pillar, the three pillars of stability over the long term [5], [6]. From this definition, it can be seen that food security is a rather complex issue, and therefore, it can be seen that the participation of all sectors of society is necessary to make good food security [7].…”

Problems related to food are indeed an issue that continues to be discussed by the government, both imports, self-sufficiency, the issue food security. Food security conditions have become one of the biggest problems in Indonesia, even though Indonesia is an agricultural country with abundant resources. The problem is not only the availability but also the affordability. It happens due to the social inequality between the rich and the poor, which means the rich can easily relish food. People with low incomes experience food insecurities. Thus, an appropriate strategy and policies can be done for each province in Indonesia to make it equal. Cluster analysis is used to map the provincial profile based on the condition of food security. However, the variable types in this research are numerical and categorical data, which makes general cluster analysis insufficient. This study used the Cluster Ensemble Based Mixed Data Clustering-Robust Clustering Using Links (CEBMDC-ROCK) method to cluster provinces in Indonesia based on food security conditions. The analysis process starts with numerical clustering data using Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) and then with categorical data using Robust Clustering Using Links (ROCK). The result shows that the province in Indonesia is divided into five groups based on the quality of food security, which is from very low to excellent. Based on the clustering results, which provinces need special attention from the government regarding food security can be seen.

Aquaculture is an important sector for ensuring global food security. Due to the scarcity of freshwater available for expanding aquaculture, the development of omnivorous fish species and varieties that can tolerate high salinity will enhance fish production. Some tilapia species are good candidates for aquaculture in brackish and seawater because they can grow in high salinity. Among tilapia species, Oreochromis mossambicus, Oreochromis aureus, Oreochromis spilurus, Oreochromis urolepis hornorum, Sarotherodon galilaeus and Coptodon zillii are the most salinity‐tolerant. Hybrids derived from salinity‐tolerant tilapia species are tolerant to a certain level of salinity. They have been used in aquaculture production in brackish water and full seawater. Conventional selective breeding has been applied to increase the growth rate of salinity‐tolerant tilapias. However, their growth rate is lower than that of the freshwater Oreochromis niloticus. Recently, many genomic resources and tools have been developed for salinity‐tolerant tilapia. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for important economic traits, including salinity tolerance and other desired traits, have been carried out and applied in molecular breeding for superior salinity‐tolerant tilapia lines. In this review, we systematically analysed tilapia species that can be cultured in brackish and saltwater. We summarized previous works in conventional breeding and molecular breeding for salinity‐tolerant tilapia. We pointed out a few known and potential challenges in the selective breeding and culture of salinity‐tolerant tilapia. Due to the rapid advances in molecular and other disruptive technologies, we are optimistic that novel breeding approaches will significantly increase the production salinity‐tolerant tilapia.
