Just Food looks at the top 5 trends expected to characterize the year to come. The most relevant for American citizens? The end of "cheap food". "The "era of cheap food" in the US refers to a period of time beginning after World War II until pretty much the end of the 2010s when food became increasingly affordable and abundant for the average American household thanks to a combination of agricultural innovation, government policies and global economic factors.  That period has ended. The Covid-19 pandemic was its last call. The food inflation and frequent price increases from packaged foods companies and grocery retailers we've seen in recent years have been its accelerant.  Food inflation and price increases haven’t caused the end of that era, though. The reasons are more structural. They include climate change. More frequent extreme weather events disrupt agricultural production and increase prices. They also include rising input costs in food production more broadly, such as energy, labour, water and fertiliser. Global supply chain pressures have played a role and, at the other end of the chain, consumer demand for better-for-you and more sustainable foods, too. There has also been increased investor pressure on food companies to achieve higher profits." #futureoffood #futureofretail
