Beyond the immediate concerns related to Covid-19, the F&B industry still faces many challenges related to the sourcing of ingredients, sustainable production processes and the need to offer healthy diets to a global population that is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050.[1] 2020 may therefore offer an opportunity for a greater shift towards utilising more sustainable processes and developing new ingredients. For many years, startups have been the leaders in food innovation, and it seems that the ‘new normal’ will prove to be no different.
Many of the solutions that are needed to overcome some of the biggest challenges faced by the F&B industry, originate from startups. New ingredients contributing to digestive, cognitive, immune or physical health are in the spotlight due to increased consumer demand. Natural and/or sustainable processes, as well as new technologies that can help advance the food and beverage industry by improving food safety, quality, and traceability are in demand.
