Seven Trends Driving U.S. Food Demands

Jean D. Kinsey

Choices: The Magazine of Food, Farm, and Resource Issues, 1992, vol. 07, issue 3, 3

Abstract: Seven trends have a great deal to say about how demand for food will evolve into the 21 st century. They relate to the slow growth in total food demand, diversity in foods, global homogenization of food consumption patterns, demand for convenience, public services related to food, relationships between food production and its distribution to the environment, and, better health. Paying close attention to these factors can help distinguish between fads that will soon be gone and more fundamental developments that will affect U.S. food production and distribution for years to come.
