Sustainability in brief, Part II

This presentation covers several interesting topics related to sustainability such as the relationship between sustainability and Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity which enable them to connect and exchange data. IoT can play a crucial role in promoting sustainable practices and addressing global challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.

Sustainability in mechatronics is also introduced in this lecture. Mechatronics is a field of engineering that combines mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to design and develop intelligent systems and products. Sustainability and mechatronics are two areas of research that are increasingly interconnected.

In addition, the connection between sustainability and edge cloud computing is highlighted. Edge cloud computing is a model where data processing and storage occurs closer to the end-users or devices generating the data, rather than in a centralized data center. In the presentation, the benefits of adopting sustainable cloud computing practices are outlined, such as cost savings, reduced carbon emissions, and improved corporate social responsibility. There are also included case studies such as smart cities, sustainable agriculture, face recognition, etc. to showcase the benefits of edge cloud computing.

Finally, the vital role of agriculture and food technology in promoting sustainability is discussed. Optimizing crop production, reducing waste, promoting the use of sustainable packaging, developing plant-based alternatives to animal products, and reducing the environmental impact of agriculture and food production are some of the practices that are demonstrated in this presentation.
