and Trends
Food Sustainability
One way companies aim to do this 
is by diversifying our food 
supplies to reduce global hunger. 
Moving away from traditional 
food sources such as beef and 
potatoes to more nutrient-rich 
crops that are less impactful on 
the environment, such as 
mushrooms and seaweed.

Digital Loyalty 
Schemes
With the growth of home delivery 
apps like Deliveroo throughout 
2020, competition for food 
businesses increases as the 
number of customer options 
continues to expand. This drives 
the need for companies to find 
new ways to entice customers 
repeatedly.

buzzwords for 2023, with new 
websites and apps appearing 
every week. One of the most well-

Plastic-free and Smart 
Packaging
For decades, many food 
manufacturers have used plastic 
in some form or another in their 
packaging, since it has always 
been the cheapest and most 
convenient solution. With recent 
advancements in the fight against 
climate change, however, 
consumer perspectives are 
shifting, and they’re looking to 
manufacturers to make some 
green changes.

people are paying more and more 
attention to what’s in their 
beverages of choice—avoiding

that do more harm than good.

return to tried and true 
processing methods, but with 
updated technology and other 
improvements. Fermentation is 
one technique in particular that 
has seen a strong revival, with 
the ever-growing popularity of 
fermented foods and beverages.
