In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of pyrolyzed lignin compacts reinforced with 50 wt % wheat straw (WS) or sugar beet pulp (SBP) fibers. The compacts were pyrolyzed at 300, 500, 700, and 900 °C in an Ar atmosphere. Detailed thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and microstructure analysis were performed on these samples. FTIR analysis showed that pyrolysis of lignin–WS and lignin–SBP resulted in aromatic char. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies showed that foams obtained by pyrolyzing both lignin–50 wt % SBP and lignin–50 wt % WS composites have a cellular structure. X-ray tomography and energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) studies showed that pyrolysis of wheat straw caused the formation of mineral-rich nodules in the pyrolyzed lignin matrix, which was responsible for the denser and uniform microstructure of the lignin–WS composites. Due to this reason, the lignin–WS composites were denser and had a better mechanical strength as compared to the lignin–SBP composites. Both the compositions also showed temperature-dependent wettability behavior.
Food security is a fundamental global concern, where severe consequences may lead towards hunger and malnutrition. To intricate novel paradigm-shifting tactics correlating artificial intelligence and agriculture, the primary focus should rely on the predominant real-life implementation of AI research models addressing global food security and safety challenges. Artificial intelligence postulates noteworthy tactics improving precision agriculture models, crop-disease management, postharvest food loss reduction, smart inventory execution and global food quality assurance routes. It is estimated that future impact of AI on food safety and security will ominously increase providing better nutrition utilizing minimum agri-resources. Present study underlines AI influence in transforming sustainable future by minimizing food loss by developing a predictive and focused food security forecast following assorted socio-economic and environmental dynamics. The field of AI is practically vast and its impact on nutritional security holds central potential bridging comprehensive awareness gap for revolutionizing sustainability around the globe. From seed to fork a robust deep-learning systemic AI powered innovation models enhance global opportunities reshaping food industry and creating a resilient strategic transformation addressing food security following climate change challenges.
