Alison Swindells is the Business Development Manager for Australasia at thefoodpeople. They’re a global food trends and ideas agency who have a shared love of food & drink and a passion for gastronomic trends. Their goal is to help small and large businesses develop market-winning products and big food ideas.
In this episode, Alison shares ‘hot off the press’ predictions for 2020 and beyond about global macro drivers and trends for food & drinks. You’ll hear about the two very different sides of a future-looking trend wheel – one of which focuses on mindful consumption, healthy renewal and eco-preservation, while the other side embraces the playful delight of cultural creativity and pleasure seeking.
And in the Aftertaste section, I suggest 3 ways that you could harness the power of food and beverage trends to inspire new product ideas for your business.
