Impact of Automation on Food Production

The introduction of automation in the food industry has revolutionized food production methods, notably demonstrated at a recent food fair showcasing advanced machinery. Machines can now produce thousands of dumplings and other traditional foods in a fraction of the time it would take human chefs. For instance, dumpling machines can generate up to 30,000 dumplings per hour, significantly enhancing the speed and efficiency of food preparation. While automation boosts productivity, it raises questions about the quality and authenticity of the end product, particularly in traditional cuisines that rely on craftsmanship and family traditions.
