The future of eating
Our population is expanding, while standards of living are also changing and our environment is increasingly strained. How will future food production meet the growing demand? Will our diets have to change? Can technology provide the answers? New trends in biotechnology, health science, processing and cooking technologies, as well as issues like climate change, will all affect what we eat.
Exactly which foods will become fashionable in the future is impossible to predict. Most likely, some exist now, but are underutilized; some have yet to be found or invented; and some will be so radically different we would hardly recognize them today as food. |
