The future of flavour and planetary health are intrinsically linked as climate change destabilises many much-cherished flavours and ingredients. Looking to create better, more sustainable solutions, industry experts are experimenting with biodiverse, climate-hardy edibles to ensure a robust, flavourful future. Simultaneously, plant-based foods are becoming tastier and more sensorially pleasing to appeal to climate-conscious consumers.

Ramping Up the Vegan Flavours

As the market for plant-based food and drink booms, demand for diverse, better-tasting vegan alternatives grows. From creamy textures to more balanced fishy flavours, brands are working on new products that deliver realistic and appetising taste experiences. See Crafting Richness in Vegan Dairy and The Future of Plant-Based Eggs for more insights.

Eating the Unexpected

Food brands and product developers are mining underused and unexpected edible sources, from seaweed and sea urchins to discarded fruit stones and smoke-tainted grapes, to conceive new flavourful and sustainable products. See The Food Waste Opportunity for further inspiration.
