The future of nutrition: new trends
The pandemic has changed food habits and food management, leading to a more balanced, conscious and health-beneficial approach to food. Distancing measures have made many social habits related to nutrition, such as catering and conviviality, extremely problematic and expensive. There has also been a rapid revolution in terms of the need for ingredients, packaging, mode and place of consumption and mode of purchasing food, which has put into crisis many aspects of food globalization. At the same time, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of nutrition in supporting the state of health and well-being. What hypotheses can we make about the influence of the pandemic phenomenon on the future of food?
