The previous ICGAB 2020 has been successfully addressing emerging technologies and the integrated information system for sustainable agroindustry. Such technology, innovation and information system are becoming critical for shifting agroindustry from conventional practices to be more sustainable. Therefore, Indonesia needs to strive and adapt to the integration of the information system and agroindustry by the internet of things (IoT) implementation. Such approaches may create opportunities for expanding sustainable agroindustry as well as to achieve food security.

The 5th ICGAB 2021 this year aimed to communicate and disseminate research experiences, technology innovation, research and technology advances, and case studies related to the implementation of the internet of things (IoT) to achieve food security and green agroindustry. More general agroindustry topics also available for the conference. This event provides a scientific platform that enables both local and international academia, researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, professionals, and other stakeholders to build networks, share ideas, and create research collaboration. ICGAB 2021 is hopefully offering all participants to engage with the practices and implementation of IoT and information systems to further develop the green economy in Indonesia by creating sustainable agroindustry.

Since 2017, ICGAB has been successfully attracting more than 1100 participants from various countries. This year, we are proud to invite participants to the 5th ICGAB on 6-7 July 2020 through Online Conference. ICGAB 2021 is organised by the Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Universitas Brawijaya in collaboration with International Association of Agro-based Engineering and Technology (IAAET). As part of the ICGAB event, an International Workshop for Industry (IWI) will also be set up on the second day. Keynotes from industries will be addressing IoT in Industry in the workshop.

We are also partnered with IOP Publisher to publish selected manuscripts in the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. Non-selected papers will be published in our electronic ICGAB proceeding with registered ISBN or recommended to be published in our International Journal “Advances in Food Science, Sustainable Agriculture and Agroindustrial Engineering (AFSSAAE)’.
