What the Future: Food
Multiple shifts are converging to reshape America’s food industry in the coming decade, and companies and brands across the food chain need to get ahead of the changes.
As GLP-1 drugs gain traction for obesity treatments, food companies will need to adjust to people’s changing tastes and food preferences. With a growing global population, food manufacturers to farmers need to meet rising demand for protein, including meat alternatives. Grocers are seeking new ways to differentiate beyond price with private-label brands. Institutions and policymakers are flexing new influence to making our food systems healthier. And bars and restaurants are evolving with consumers as they change how, when and where they gather and celebrate moments big and small away from home.
