Foodtech trends highlighted in Greenfood Insights #3:
🍎 Bye, bye foodwaste!
One third of all food produced in the world is wasted globally. One billion meals a day are not eaten. The market for upcycled food products, which use ingredients that would otherwise be wa- sted, is growing fast, with estimates pre- dicting it will be worth $53 billion by 2027.
🧬 From lab-grown to insects
It is estimated that by 2030, around 20% of the meals consumed globally could be made with alternative proteins. 3D printing, fermentation, and molecular biology are driving sustainable solutions.
👻 100 000 ghost kitchens
Analysts believe that there could be more than 100 000 ghost kitchens globally by 2030. Driven by automation and delivery apps, this is reshaping the restaurant industry.
