THE rapidly evolving nature of food in all its guises has been put under the microscope for the past few days at the sixth Annual World Food Technology and Innovation Forum being held for the fourth successive year in Dublin.

Food innovation and new food product development, consumer trends — including health and nutrition and ethical foods — were all on the menu, so to speak.

Without doubt this sector is changing, and at an incredible pace, driven by many factors, including rising living standards and an increasing quest for food and drink that are health-enhancing as well as nourishing.
