                        4. Make a positive impact on the world through
                     their food choices: The food industry accounts for
                     26% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. This has
                     led  to  a  growing  trend  towards  sustainable  food
                     systems and food security, urging food manufacturers
                     to  develop  products  that  reduce  food  waste  and
                     environmental impact. For example, beef bone broth
                     from Five Way Foods  in the United States not only
                                       ®
                     offers a nutritious boost  of protein, minerals, and
                     vitamins but also aligns with this sustainability trend.
                        5. Seek confidence, safety, convenience, and
                     efficiency in consumption habits: This trend is
                     reflected in the use of smart packaging solutions that
                     prioritize convenience and offer extended shelf life,
                     coupled with robust traceability measures to ensure
                     product safety and quality standards. Artificial
                     Intelligence (AI) in the food industry is also being
                     developed to increase efficiency throughout the supply
                     chain. For example, the Italian brand Chiola  utilizes
                                                          ®
                     film packaging and cardboard burger boxes to reduce
                     the use of plastic and mitigate carbon dioxide
                     emissions.
                        6.  Opt  for  foods  that  enhance  physical
                     appearance: This trend includes the consumption of
                     dietary supplements designed to improve skin, nails,
                     hair, or combat aging. For example, collagen capsules
                     derived from chicken breast cartilage are popular
                     choices for maintaining strong joint health and youthful
                     skin, etc.
