Introduction or preface
"Internet of Things" (IoT), is the vast network of devices communicating over the Internet without the human involvement. Nevertheless, circular economy predominates in recent research effort towards sustainability. The food issue predominates in 10 out of 17 of recently established Sustainable Development Goals. Thanks to the optimization of the supply chain and to shorter distribution lines, it will be possible to resolve problems within circular economy in the food aspect such as: decrease food waste, improve food traceability, improve food quality, acquire food authentication, optimize supply chain and logistics, etc.
