Eating habits give food for thought to Irish suppliers

A revolution is taking place in the way food is sold and consumed across the world. The traditional system whereby consumers visited large supermarkets, trucked around aisles, and queued at a check-out desk is under extreme pressure.

As that change unfolds Irish food producers and marketeers have an enormous opportunity to prosper.

This change is being created by dramatic changes in the way consumers behave and communicate. Younger consumers, in particular, have shifted their preferences towards authenticity, sustainability and affordability when choosing their foods and beverages.
