How will food and everything related to food will look like in future? What role will technology and innovation play in making people more conscious about what they eat?
What will be the food ecosystem of the future?
The current generation is getting health conscious and the same has been started reflecting in all the new age innovations.
In this report by the Institute of Customer Experience (ICE), we explore how the ecosystem around food will evolve and what are the key signals around this ecosystem.
By the year 2050, the world’s population is projected to swell to 9 billion. 80% of us will be urban-dwellers. Demand from developing countries for a wider range of foods is on the rise. Experts estimate that we will need new farmland larger than the size of Brazil to produce enough to meet the demands of growing populations.
Food security therefore represents one of the single biggest challenges of our future, with environmental, economic, political, and lifestyle implications.
How will we fix our broken and unsustainable systems of industrial food production to serve the needs of an ever-growing planet? In what ways will we rethink food via new practices and new technologies? This latest report from the Institute for Customer Experience considers how we are re-imagining our food practices in order to project anew our collective, global future.
The potential unemployment owing to automation and improvements in ICTs is likely to be more drastic than earlier rounds of automation. Will people be redundant at the workplace? Is this likely to lead to unemployment and strife? Or can we use this opportunity to explore more art, travel, have more fun, in short be more human?
World population is growing continuously with more people living on the Earth than ever before. In 2007, humanity’s total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths. Resources are becoming increasingly valuable as the Earth is the only source till date and others planets are still to become a viable source of these resources.
Projections estimate that we will need the equivalent of two planets by 2030 to meet our annual demands. The only way, we can reduce our footprint is by producing more with less, and consuming better, wiser and less - the way forward is better and 'frugal' choices!
In this report, we present the trends that encourage better choices; trends in Frugal Innovations, 'Jugaad' and Do-It-Yourself are explored to see how and where we can make our better choices for the future.
We conclude our report with 3 thought provoking future scenarios.
Wellness, in today’s context, is much more than diagnosing and curing poor health or diseases. It is a multidimensional and holistic state of being that is conscious, self-directed, and constantly evolving. Trying to make sense of wellness in a world of rising healthcare costs, shortage of wellness professionals, and technological advances in everything from computing to genetics, gives rise to several pertinent questions.
-- Will there still be any universally recognized concept of wellness? Or will it be hyper personalized to each individual's environments, genetics, and experiences?
-- What will wellness look and feel like in the future? What will be the new indicators of wellness?
-- As people experience enhanced wellness, will they become more self-aware and adopt additional experiences that will promote wellness?
-- Will we be more in control of our well-being? Or will we stop caring in a world where every aspect of our person is closely and constantly monitored and serviced?
-- As roles in the wellness ecosystem shift, what are the new well-being authorities and environments that will emerge?
-- Will big data around wellness help create better early warning systems about potential pandemics? Or will there be a drive to protect and hide our personal wellness and risk profiles online?
-- Will we ever be 'unwell', given all the new technologies to enhance (as well as prevent) wellness that will be in place?
-- Will we prefer being looked after and treated by robotic care givers/surgeons?
We attempt to answer these questions through 10 current trends we have identified, which will impact the course of wellness in the future.

Incarceration has historically been about punishment but recently the trend has shifted towards reform, schooling, and an entrepreneurial spirit. In this report, we look at trends in prison experiences, technology, as well as edtech and entrepreneurship in prisons. Prisons are increasingly enabling inmates to get a vocational training, degrees, and even healing. No longer are inmates looked upon as "less than human" but there is a curiosity about their minds and views that are pro-reform so that they integrate well into society on their release. We then forecast three scenarios on mass incarceration in 2040.
What if, in the future…
• “We”go on to live for a long time, and become our own future? There are no children?
• We forget what a “child”is?
• Children are no longer ‘born’ but manufactured? A child becomes a technological marvel?
• All the beauty inside (and outside) can be fabricated, can be artificially modified,and can be quantified?
Our latest report explores the future of children. We look forward to hear your comments, views and opinions.
How will the future of politics and political campaigning look like? Who will be the heroes in the future political battles? Where will the battle take place - on the streets or in the virtual world? What weapons will the future political parties use?
In this report, the Institute of Customer Experience raises many of such questions and presents possible scenarios that might become a reality given the present trends.

Lifelogging is the practice of tracking personal data generated by our own behavioral activities in continuous digital streams. As it is slowly becoming mainstream, it raises a lot of intriguing questions and thoughts.
Lifelogging and self-tracking are altering the Futures of:
Memory,
Remembering,

and our very Humanness.
This report explores these questions, thoughts and futures.
The diversity of South Africa is on one hand a treasure that should be preserved and people still do recognize its importance and carry forward their cultural values. On the other hand, the very same diversity is a challenge for policy makers, marketers, advertisers, government and other institutions that want to reach out to greater masses and those who look for scalability.
However, the “mobile first” generation is the answer. The mobile revolution has introduced the people in South Africa to the power of social media, enabled them to open and operate bank accounts, helped them level their healthcare needs and now it is being used in many more avenues with greater possibilities.
This report aggregates the current trends to showcase the possibilities. Further on, it challenges the designers and innovators by planting the Brainstorming Seeds that will grow on to become possibilities of tomorrow—to build a more prosperous and vibrant Rainbow Nation!
Will we stop packing a water bottle and collect air on-the-go? Will personal straws be the next big thing to ensure we get access to drinking water? Will ancient desalination techniques be our saving grace and enable us to engineer the future of water? Or will the ocean start cleaning itself?
The first in a series on the Future of Money. Sponsored by The Institute of Customer Experience (ICE).
Today’s world increasingly challenges us to think differently about value and money. Almost everyone agrees that reputation is important. But how important is it? Does it have an impact on your finances? What is the currency of reputation and is it transferable or exchangeable?

Waste management is an important part of any sustainable future. In this report we present our views on Sustainable Futures for India from a waste management perspective.
-- We research and present our findings on why waste management is becoming increasingly important for India.
-- Who are the stakeholders involved in waste management? What happens to our waste - lifecycle of our waste.
-- We explore global trends in waste management and present innovative uses of waste from around the world.
-- Finally, we come down to the biggest challenges that India faces in waste management.
-- We identify two key pressing issues and propose innovative solutions for the same.
Derived from the Latin term for “enslaved by” or “bound to”, Addictions primarily lead to cravings, dependence and uncontrollable use with negative consequences. Today, Addictions are being recognized as chronic diseases that alter both the structure as well as the function of the brain. With the evolution of humans and technology, addictions and compulsions are undergoing a constant metamorphosis and ave evolved from substance, behavioral and impulse controlled disorders to territories around Social media, electronics and applied science.
Taking off our from our ICE breaker on Child's Play of the Future, here we present five futuristic scenarios of a highly intelligent and self-adapting toy and its interactions with a child.
Is our current materialistic lifestyle sustainable for our planet? How long can we continue to do things that make us feel good, but that are harmful and not sustainable for our environment? We need to start seeing our interests and nature’s interest as one and the same.
At, HFI’s Institute of Customer Experience (ICE) we believe that there is hope to turn things around from leading a materialistic lifestyle that is indifferent to the planet to leading a sustainable lifestyle; and we have that hope in people. So we went out searching for people from around the world who do live a sustainable lifestyle, and it shows in their work and in their personal lives each day. They are ordinary people, but with a refreshing new mindset, which makes them extraordinary. They are cleaning up our planet, making it a better place to live in, and empathizing with nature all along the way. They mobilize others into action and have drawn many to their work.
We at ICE believe that these people are the “Trendsetters for Sustainable Lifestyles”. Through the eight photobooks that follow we want to showcase their work to the world for the simple and elegant ways in which they have made a difference to the planet as individuals. They are doing their bit and as a result have positively affected communities and the environment around them. We hope they inspire our readers the way that they have inspired us. If we can learn from sustainability being their state of mind and from their work, we can make changes in our lives and fields of work to start living in a manner that will keep Earth a beautiful and habitable place for us for a very long time to come.

As part of Institute of Customer Experience, we are constantly on the look out for opportunities that give us an insight into the future of things. We wanted to explore the concept of “beginner’s mind” which is said to be an attitude of openness, eagerness and lack of preconceptions and realized that it was the mind of a child that we wanted a peek into.
We ideated and devised a unique way of getting children to give us their insights about what they think will happen in the future. The result was a board game called “The Trip to the Future” which we used to conduct “playshops”. This method got us very exciting responses. We would love to take you through the journey.
Love is a very complex emotion to decode. Or is it?
Machines and their relationship with humans have been explored in great detail. However the impact of machines on the future of love and the connection between technology and emotions seem more pertinent now than before.
In 2013, the Institute of Customer Experience designed a board game called “Trip to the Future” which was used to conduct “playshops” for children to get insights into how children’s minds work in visualizing the future.
Three years later, at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2016 held in Mumbai, we had an opportunity to conduct two similar playshops—one for an NGO called Akanksha and the second for the KGAF 2016 festival children.
The responses we received were intriguing and actually point to current trends in 2016, indicating the directions in which technology will evolve in the future.
Response-Trend that emerged:
1. Practical space exploration
2. Beneficial intelligence
3. Maker movement (3D printing)
4. Space-saving automated tech
5. Cognitive Internet of Things
6. Immersive screen display
7. Augmented knowledge (and immortality)

At the consumer level, food waste stems from exploited
customer behaviour that involves over-spending for
unnecessarily high quantities of food, with disproportionately
low commitment to consume all that food before expiry.

The way we cook, eat, buy and store our food is undergoing radical change.
Emerging technologies, from the Internet of Things to augmented reality, present us with endless possibilities to improve the way we produce and cook our food. But without good design, these will only ever be possibilities. To bring this technology into the home’s – and the hands – of everyday people, it has to be tailored into people-centred products and services.
In the following pages, we’ve gathered key change drivers, opportunity spaces, and some initial ideas for future concepts. Enjoy!

please help me with the case study
Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow: What Will Restaurants Look Like
After Covid? You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Covid-19 revealed the everyday
activities many people take for granted until they're no longer for an option-like eating out in a
restaurant. The pandemic has rocked the restaurant industry and showed just how agile it isn't.
Faced with challenges, more than 70,000 restaurants across the U.S. have permanently closed.
Restaurants had to quickly pivot to curb side pickup and delivery and adjust their menus and
staffing in hopes of staying afloat. Now, several months into the pandemic, we can see how the
restaurant industry will be permanently changed by Covid-19. In many cases, the pandemic is a
chance for restaurants to innovate and find new, creative ways to serve customers. These five
main changes show how restaurants must adapt to the Covid-19 era and how they can leverage
changes to improve the customer experience. Focus On Health and Safety Restaurants have
always had to pass health inspections, but a greater focus on cleanliness and health is forcing
restaurants to double-down on their efforts. Zagat's Future of Dining Study found that 3 in 4 diners
say health and safety concerns are their biggest deterrent to dining out in person. Diners are
looking for restaurants to be transparent about their cleanliness procedures, so restaurants must
use clear optics of what they are doing to keep diners safe. Customers are looking for things like
single-use menus, disposable silverware, signs placed on tables that have been sanitized, hand
sanitizing stations and employees wearing masks. How the food is served will also be affected,
with diners preferring individual or pre-packaged meals instead of family-style dining. Restaurants
will likely need to invest in new cleaning supplies and training to teach employees new
procedures, as well as marketing and signage to inform diners of the new procedures. Increased
Digital Offerings Like most other industries, restaurants have experienced rapid digital
acceleration. Throughout the pandemic, restaurants with a strong digital presence, such as easy
online or mobile ordering or a robust digital loyalty program, have seen increased engagement
with customers. Most signs point to customers staying digitally engaged after the pandemic.
Restaurants will continue to move to frictionless ordering and payment with an increase in online
and mobile orders for pickup and delivery. Even inside restaurants, diners will order their own food
on tablets or kiosks to limit their exposure to employees and payment devices. The restaurant
industry is ripe for technological innovation- anything from digital menus to tableside ordering and
guest engagement apps can transform the dining experience to match new customer trends. But
in order to accommodate these trends, restaurants must invest in new technology, which can be
costly. To preserv.
It's is an Electronic Business model which has an innovative business idea with a practical approach to implementation and also has SWOT analysis for the business model. To make it more credential, I identified potential competitor in the market to forecast how it'll face competitive market and outsmart it with its core competencies. I hope it'll be a great model for people who are venturing into Electronic business as it elaborates step by step implementation process and also helpful for academic students who are studying Electronic business.
Are cookbooks ready for the next level custom food tech trends and analysis.Rahul KM
From 2012 to date there has been a new wave
of investments in innovative companies related
to the food industry. Start-ups operating in
food tech are revolutionizing the way food is
produced, distributed and consumed, and are
revitalizing an entire industry with new
business models and customer experience.
FoodTech 101: A beginner’s guide to the future of foodAlexander Clifford
The FoodTech industry is experiencing rapid growth, transforming not only hospitality establishments like bakeries and restaurants but also the food in our home fridges. Businesses are leveraging innovative thinking to overhaul how food is being distributed, manufactured, marketed, and consumed. Investors are directing their attention towards FoodTech startups, and the UK is witnessing a surge in food technology activity, driven by increasing demand.
Busy consumers who want home-cooked healthy meals but don't have the time to shop are becoming more attracted to the convenience of meal kit delivery services.
Consumers who subscribe to these services typically receive a box containing fresh, prepared ingredients for one or more meals and the corresponding recipes. They usually receive them once a week and some even have same-day delivery.
As the meal kit sector continues to grow, so does supply chain flexibility and meal kit delivery services demand.
In order to succeed, subscription meal kit companies not only need to offer good, quality meals and an intuitive user interface, but also must have excellent supply chain management skills.
Many services promise some mix of local, fresh, reduced-calorie, gluten-free, or organic products and may provide hard to find items.
Because of the growth of food home deliveries, the distance between stops has been reduced and the number of items delivered to each stop has been increased. This lowers the carrier’s cost resulting in overall lower shipping costs.
The attention to fresh ingredients is often ideal for consumers looking for healthy, tasty meal alternatives with many delivery options. Local farmers also benefit from the increased ongoing demand for their perishable foods.
The Future ofThe Future of Food Delivery_ AI Powering a Smarter Kitchen.pdfNiranjana P
The landscape of food delivery is on the cusp of a revolution, driven by the power of artificial intelligence (AI). Imagine a future where your kitchen collaborates with your favorite food delivery app. AI is poised to transform the entire food delivery experience, from the moment you order to the first delicious bite.
Gone will be the days of poring over menus and struggling with indecision. AI-powered recommendations will suggest dishes tailored to your preferences, dietary needs, and even past orders. The kitchen itself will become an intelligent partner. Smart appliances can optimize cooking times, preheat ovens based on your order, and even suggest recipe substitutions based on what you have on hand.
But the benefits extend far beyond convenience. AI can ensure consistent food quality across different kitchens, analyzing recipe data and recommending adjustments to maintain the perfect taste. Furthermore, AI-powered inventory management can help restaurants maintain optimal stock levels, leading to fresher ingredients and ultimately, tastier food for you.
This smarter approach to food delivery isn't just about efficiency; it's about elevating the entire dining experience. Food safety is paramount, and AI can play a crucial role here. By analyzing data throughout the supply chain, potential contamination risks can be identified and mitigated before they reach your doorstep.

As we move into the era of robotics, machines, transhumans, cyborgs, prosthetics and exoskeletons, the future of sports seems even more disrupted. And it raises questions at different levels.
