It is estimated that in the next thirty years, the planet will be home to more than 10 billion people and this demographic explosion threatens an "unprecedented hunger crisis" around the world. It means that food production would have to increase by about 70 % to guarantee food for everyone, in addition to the impact of agriculture on the environment. Thus, we ask ourselves what we can do to fight this problem that only tends to grow? - In light of this, the concept of FoodTech arises, which are startups that use new technologies to revolutionize the food sector, in favor of building a new market that is smarter, healthier, sustainable, dynamic and agile. This kind of startup fit into a wide range of segments and the application of these technologies delivers new intelligent ways and alternatives to overcome the obsolescence of traditional agrifood systems, in order to improve agricultural production and food production processes as well as the supply chain and distribution channel. Although FoodTech startups have become vanguard in the agri-food industry, there is still a large gap in the literature that relates their concept in order to help academics and professionals understand the FoodTech ecosystem, what each category does and how they work as well as what each one of them represents in different stages of the food production, distribution and consumption chain. In addition, how the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Blockchain are used in decision-making of these startups. Therefore, this manuscript aims to meet everyone who wants to learn about the subject, approaching the concepts of FoodTech and Big Data tools in a more simplified, fluid and easy-tounderstand way, showing their objectives, benefits and challenges.
