The entire (F&B) sector is facing numerous challenges, some that even extend far beyond what is happening right now. These issues are inextricably linked to how F&B companies are planning to produce more food and to do it more sustainably, in order to meet the global demand of the growing population. In fact, the current situation is highlighting the need for the global food system--from farm to fork--to commit to change.To that end, food tech companies are pioneering new technologies and ways of producing, manufacturing, ordering, creating, and consuming food. The industry is seeing a rise in improved technologies focused on animal product substitutes. As prices decrease and sensorial quality increase, these products will only gain more popularity among all consumer groups. In addition, by bringing together the convenience of ordering online, personalisation of meals, access to healthy and nutritious ingredients, and the speed of getting food at a counter, service robots and e-restaurants will set new standards. Online food and e-commerce platforms too will continue to grow and gain new adopters, as consumers continue to look for more convenient ways to shop.Besides, technologies like blockchain and AI will be the primary force reshaping the food value chain. Blockchain will help solve a number of critical consumer, food manufacturing, and retail problems. AI, on the other hand, will increase the ability for personalisation of food products.In this edition of Food and Beverages Tech Review, we bring you the story of some of the most prominent food tech startups that are delivering the best outcomes for their clients via their innovative solutions and services.
