A Look in Our Crystal Ball: Three Trends That Will Define the Future of Food
While it’s tempting to offer a few out-there predictions and leave it at that (flying cars! Space colonization!), this presentation will take a somewhat different approach. Mintel has identified three major trends that will help define the future of food: health, ethics, and technology. We’ll identify a few concepts that may or may not happen someday in the future, then focus our attention on where we are today: What are companies doing? What will consumers accept? What are the early signals of what that future might look like?
