Answer to Question 1

In forecasting the food marketplace 25 years from now, one might see an increase in prevention and treatment of disease through nutrition. This would be in response to the increase in the 65 years and older population group. Consumers will be interested in foods that have been linked to reducing the risk of obesity, heart disease and cancer. The current interest in cultural foods will increase in response to the increasing cultural diversity of the population. Expect more foods representing other cultures, including Mexican, soul, and Asian food products. With the continued acceleration in the pace of life, expect more convenience foods: frozen, refrigerated, and dried. Small portions of food for snacking and small meals will continue to grow. Consumers will also demand accountability in the food supply, both from food safety and environmental standpoints.
