Publisher's Synopsis
The service the food and drink sector performs is essential to the well-being of the nation. In the next 20 years changes in the food and drink industries will probably include being able to buy food to meet our individual nutritional needs; packaging which gives details about the food it contains; enhanced food quality and hygiene; and improved quality in raw food materials. The UK needs to be at the forefront of such developments. The UK Technology Foresight Programme has allowed all the contributors to the complex food chain to explore their future together and this report presents their findings.
