'Food is getting cool' - Nestle on the future of food
The food industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. As the chief technology officer of the world's largest food company put it: 'food is getting cool'.
“We are seeing dramatic changes happening in the business. We see fragmentation and many small start-ups. Food is somehow getting cool. You see that in food blogs and TV. Food is a very attractive topic," said Nestlé chief technology officer Stefan Palzer.
This is presenting challenges and opportunities. And Palzer’s take on what these are proved popular among FoodNavigator’s readers. He stressed that innovation and variety are more important than ever as consumer expectations fragment.
What are Nestlé innovation priorities? Plant-based product development, biodegradable plastics and cutting carbon emissions.
