Perhaps similar to the 'disgust' reflex with #entomophagy young people (72% of those surveyed) are opposed to eat cultured meat products, even though they have strong concerns for the environment You can read more here: foodnavigator.com/Article/2020/0…

Blending meat with high #protein plants such as lentils creating a great opportunity Blended products like #burgers are giving consumers and manufacturers the option to lower costs whilst maintaining or improving their #nutritional value! Read more here tinyurl.com/y6o3e4wl

#Edibleinsects offer a healthy and sustainable alternative to meat, and crickets could be the 'gateway bug' thanks to their nutty flavour! Read more here: thealternativedaily.com/bugs-dinner-he…

Fenn Foods is working on the first #carbonneutral #plantbased #meatalternative with a focus on environmental labelling to inform consumer choices... It's also called VEEF tinyurl.com/y34m65ww

Interesting read this morning: consumers can easily identify foods with more or less calories, but cannot distinguish between (relatively) high and low carbon footprint of foods. Another case to be made for #carbonfootprint footprint labelling on #food? tinyurl.com/y5gfslzy

Nestlé is launching a flaky #plantbased alternative to tuna... called Vuna! The #sustainable #protein in this product is pea protein, combined with wheat gluten and rapeseed oil. You can read more about this on foodingredientsfirst: tinyurl.com/yyapc3sy

The #NFU suggest that the coronavirus offers a 'golden opportunity' for a green recovery for food security through the farming industry. Producing and working at optimum production capacity would make the country more self-sufficient! Read more here: tinyurl.com/y6xnve8u

New #foodlabelling from @upfieldglobal is planned to show the carbon footprint of products so that consumers can make informed choices about the products they buy. Could this be the start to helping consumers easily choose more #sustainable products? tinyurl.com/y3fwns74

According to the Kerry Group, #Foodsafety, #Trust, and #Transparency are the key three #foodtrends emerging from consumer research following the start of covid19, with 48% willing to pay more for locally-sourced produce! tinyurl.com/y3d3etuk

Does this transparency give #Manufacturers manufacturers a window to create #sustainable #FoodSystems in a post-covid world, and should they be acting on this now? Is it unfair for consumers to call upon manufacturers to make sustainable changes during the pandemic?

A new report: 'Building Back Better: Fixing the Future of Food' (which you can download and read for free here tinyurl.com/y2pt4naj ) has exposed key weaknesses in the UK Food System

4 in 5 consumers feel that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way they see the food and drink we eat (according to KamCity tinyurl.com/y4q69csr ) But the change consumers want to see is far from what industry is capable of delivering right now

Lots of great #foodtechnology innovations here to help us pursue #Sustainability through #technology tinyurl.com/y2j6wjq8

Sustainable marine aquaculture could allow us to produce more food to meet growing consumer demand with population increase, fish are often more sustainable and nutritious than land-based meats according to edhat! #Sustainability #aquaculture #futurefood tinyurl.com/y6hjlt5f

Mobile technology is enabling consumers to easily access more sustainable alternatives, from alternatives to single-use items to finding plastic-free shops nearby! More from the Environment Journal: tinyurl.com/yxepbhmn #Sustainability #singleuseplastic #technology

Our connection with @UoNFutureFood , @ThomasDAlcock has written a fantastic blog post about his project aiming to inform #sustainable production of major oil crops! Check it out below! 😄🌍
