Hamutal (Tula) Schieber recently talked about Food Trends at a conference. A version of this presentation is available here: It is true that speed or ease of preparation, convenience, taste, indulgence and health are not new trends. But each of these considerations has changed significantly in the last decade and especially after the Coronavirus Pandemic, and we reviewed how consumers perceive them. Furthermore: who influences consumers today? How do consumers decide what is healthy and what is a treat, whether to make a meal or buy it, whether to go to a store or buy online? What external factors influence the choice of brands and packaging - such as trends, social media, independent production, craftsmanship, ethics, sustainability, contribution to society?
