Cargill’s CarVe AI-powered computer vision system received a 2026 Edison Award (Bronze) in the Consumer Food Innovations and Sustainable Industry Solutions category, which recognizes solutions that improve efficiency, reduce waste and expand consumer options across the food system. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the company’s innovations have been named among the winners.

The CarVe system measures red meat yield in real time, enabling production teams to improve beef cutting precision, reduce food waste and increase efficiency across protein operations.

“By combining deep food expertise with innovation and new technologies, we are reimagining how food is made at scale,” said Florian Schattenmann, chief technology officer at Cargill. “This recognition reflects the talent of our teams and the meaningful progress we’re delivering with our partners and customers.”

The Edison Awards, named after inventor Thomas Edison, recognize the world’s most innovative products and business leaders. Winners are selected based on concept, value and impact by a panel of peers across industry, academia and innovation sectors.
