What it means to be nourished is changing. As we move into a period of unprecedented food insecurity, what we eat and who we eat it with are taking on new meaning. As mindsets move from optimisation to survival, people are increasingly focusing on shoring up food security, while also re-evaluating the role that it plays in defining our cultures and communities.
Looking to the future, we can expect to see recalibrated food and drink supply chains that fuse technology with traditional techniques and regional identities to ensure future-proofed and more meaningful eating experiences.
