Attitudes & Challenges

To eat sustainably is the absolute most socially changing food trend for 2023, and this is the trend with the biggest impact on the way we produce, handle, and eat food.
We talk about sustainability with consideration for animals, people, and the environment and the consumers expect solutions, credibility, and transparency from the food- and beverages industry.
The climate mindset includes a more holistic view of health, where the personal health aspect goes hand in hand with the global climate aspect.
The sustainable agenda is a complicated dimension and requires many sub-decisions and actions before reaching the goal.

Health, Wellbeing & Purity


We see a rapidly growing demand for healthy, honest, and clean food and beverages without additives, preservatives etc.
The industry is struggling to meet the demands. And although it may be difficult, there is no going back. We want transparency, honesty, and clean food – now in all categories from drinks to bread, chocolate, ready meals, meat, fruit, and vegetables.

Enjoyment, Actions & Longings

Health is synonymous with the good life and a fundamental goal in life, but equally important is the deep human need for pleasure.
We are talking about ‘Healthy Indulgence’. The need to achieve joy and satisfaction is one of the most vital driving forces in our lives.
Our brains are designed to enjoy food, sex and community to secure our species. Other food trends show how food is linked to physical, mental, and global health. It takes up a lot. But food is more than common sense, dietary advice, and climate. Food is also enjoyment, culture, wildness, and experience.
