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.
