Chefs Spotlight Global Food Trends

摘要

Chefs from all over the world gathered at the recent ACF national convention in Texas to learn about four major food trends. One chef defines and explains what he calls" meta-trends": authenticity, ethicality, food security, and exotica and indulgence. Tyson, Kraft, Pepsi, Nestle, and ConAgra: these are some of the world's largest food companies, whose combined annual sales easily exceed US$100 billion dollars. That is billion with a capital "B". Each of these giants, in turn, spends millions of dollars on market research and trend forecasting.
