But what was limited to the packaging a few years ago (the eternally identical cola with its own name) is now also increasingly reflected in the composition of the food itself (e.g. sugar-, gluten-, meat- or lactose-free). The next step is the individualization of the production of these foods on demand, i.e. the emergence of small &#8220;personal food factories&#8221; that can produce food for each target group according to their individual needs. Thanks to new technologies and advancing digitalization, industry will be able to control production processes here completely automatically and individually. The online store through which we will order our food in the future will always include sliders or drop-down menus that we can use to, for example, select a food item. the fat content of the milk, the sugar content of the chocolate bars or the herb content of the strained tomatoes.       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-serif has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In their book &#8220;Food Code&#8221;, Hendrik Haase and Olaf Deiniger rightly ask in this context whether this approach of customizing individualized foods by cutting them up and assembling them to fit perfectly can be a future strategy for the food industry. Although the individual person would seem to be at the center, this system was based on a technical understanding of nutrition, which was basically seen only as the replenishment of fuel.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"Personal Food Factories: Food Production for the Individual\" class=\"wp-image-633946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FoodTrendRadar-Marketing-PersonalFood-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif wp-block-paragraph\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/5B-CcdKM9LA\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal Food Factories The megatrend of individualization means that our diets are becoming increasingly varied [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":633947,"template":"","trend_category":[1540],"trend_status":[1206],"trend_group":[],"trend_timeframe":[1539],"class_list":["post-725956","trend","type-trend","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","trend_category-production-en","trend_status-wobble-candidate","trend_timeframe-future"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
