This document summarizes a presentation about how big data and social networks are changing food innovation. The presentation covers several topics: leveraging social media like Instagram and Pinterest to drive food innovation; how transparency and full exposure on social media can build trust for brands like Chipotle; exploring whether QR codes may be the future of food shopping; how big data can influence food innovation; and how consumers use tools like Yelp and Foursquare to decide what to have for dinner. The presentation provides several examples and concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information.
