Knowledge and best practice in this field are always changing.
Because biospectroscopy is inherently interdisciplinary, research collaborations, knowledge transfer, together with technical advancements and the evaluation of fully portable biospectroscopy equipment, will contribute to biospectroscopy sensor development, facilitating better crop protection and reducing food waste in future food production/supply.
Lucas and Crute outlined criteria for a truly sustainable technology in the context of agricultural productivity:

Lucas and Crute outlined criteria for a truly sustainable technology in the context of agricultural productivity:
- Based on the use of one or more renewable resources
- Does not break down due to evolutionary change
- Has broad spectrum of applicability
- Is affordable in the context of the local economy and crop value
Can biospectroscopy meet all these criteria? It seems to meet at least 3 of them.
