Nestle on the future of food: Healthy, sustainable and personalised
The food industry must deliver healthier food in a more sustainable way and utilise new technologies that meet changing consumer expectations. Nestlé plans to be at the forefront of this shift, EVP and CEO of zone EMEA Marco Settembri told us last February.
Settembri called out a number of focus areas for the company, from delivering healthier products through reformulation efforts, to reducing the impact of its supply chain on the health of the planet.
Looking to the future, Settembri said he believes personalised nutrition will be an important long-term trend.
To deliver true personalisation, the industry needs to move beyond segmentation.
“We are already working with new tech. We are working on personalisation already,” Settembri said. “Tech will help us enormously in the future to give you exactly what you want. How you want. With the taste that you want and the shape that you want.
“3D printing can help a lot in that sense. We are investing a lot in [examining] what would be the 3D printing effect on our different categories. We do believe that personalisation is the future.”
