Well into adulthood, Millennials are delaying the big milestones, such as parenthood and house ownership. They’re not afraid to splash out on the little luxuries though, particularly food. They continue to live up to their foodie status in 2020. They’re driven to try new dishes spotted on social media or in . However, Millennials are generally more cautious and anxious about life after lockdown than younger consumers. Photo: The Creative Exchange on Unsplash 12 GEN Z

These socially responsible young adults put gender equality, diversity and LGBT equality high on their agendas. They spend a lot of time communicating with like minded individuals online, favouring TikTok or Snapchat over Facebook. ‘Generation Sensible’ are drinking, smoking and spending less than those before them. That said, they spend a lot of their (and their parents’) money on and take out. Photo: Matheus Ferrero on Unsplash 13 SOCIAL & CULTURAL TRENDS

These trends work at an overarching cultural level and drive the Food & Beverage Trends.

Securing the Future

5 MACRO CULTURAL TRENDS

Readdress & Reconnect Optimising the Self Don't Stop the Gratification Cultural Creativity The Pleasure Principle 14 SECURING THE FUTURE

This is the time, the tipping point, where we all get to decide the part we want to play, or not, in our futures; as the central theme of ‘Revolution’ of last year morphs into the corresponding actions or non-actions felt from the political, social, environmental and economic changes going on around us.

Many of our trends this year are the responses to belief that change and a new order is needed (or a determination to hold onto what we have become used to). This belief rises and falls throughout history, punctuated by phases of stability, peace and calm. This so-called “millenarianism”, documented by Norman Cohn, is an outbreak of the belief that the current sociopolitical system needs to be broken, then re-invented, because it is ineffective, corrupt and in some senses evil. We now have our heroes emerging to help save us from ourselves…

15 READDRESS & RECONNECT

Climate breakdown, economic misery and political turmoil has prompted us to reflect and question “Where did it all go wrong?", “Have we gone too far?”. We now crave to reconnect with our planet, and the good old days before the industrial revolution, artificial chemicals and modern technology. There is an increasing sense of urgency that we need to take action, and we are starting to see this from both individuals and communities, as well as food producers and food suppliers. Ethical heroes such as Greta Thunberg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders inspire us. And hacks, pragmatic food ideas and going back to ancient methods are becoming ever more relevant to the mainstream.

16 OPTIMISING THE SELF

Our obsession with never-ending growth and progression includes ourselves and our bodies. We believe, with enough effort, anything is possible and we continually strive to better ourselves. This is not culturally new and harks back to the times of shamans and witch doctors. We believe there is a fix for every ailment and problem - we just need to discover what it is. We are increasingly relying on technology and coming to the conclusion that “there must be an app for that”. And we are picking apart our sleep patterns in the quest to improve our well-being and optimise our performance. As well as this, we are asking what food can do for us and how it can better benefit our holistic health, and make us happier, healthier, look better and live longer.

17 DON’T STOP THE GRATIFICATION

As Richard Dawkins’ landmark 1975 book The Selfish Gene argues, we are innately selfish and thus seek constant gratification – and food is very much a part of this. Food has always provided enjoyment and, unlike previous decades where we feared processed , we are now prepared to use modern developments in technology to engineer our food and push the boundaries on this as much as possible. This is possibly because the emerging generation don’t have the memories of discovering that processed foods were bad for us. Anything that can justify a more expensive and exclusive product has appeal, as well as any food that can evoke the ultimate in sci-fi and mythic fantasy. As well as this, we are becoming increasingly intolerant of the tedious and the mundane, we want life and particularly our consumption of food, to be easy and hassle free.

18 CULTURAL CREATIVITY

As we are amidst a climate crisis, economic misery and political turbulence, we crave to reach out to the world to cherish our humanity, embrace our inter- connectiveness, accept our differences and celebrate “otherness”. It is through such openness to the other, that the wellspring of creativity lies, and in the world of food this has had a number of manifestations. Our minds seek the new and gain satisfaction from the stimulation of discovery.

19 THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE

In such a turbulent world, we seek to escape from the drama and the everyday mundane through pleasure. Food has been, and continues to be, a great source of pleasure. Food flavour is moving in exciting directions. Always influential in human behaviour, its secrets are being laid bare ever more through science and experimentation. Turning the idea of foodstuffs that might otherwise be linked with low quality (or even disgust) on its head – from the valuing of aging and fats to something as traditionally unthinkable as mould. Add to this the more sophisticated use of floral flavours and more refined ways to achieve sweetness, flavour is now scaling new heights of exquisiteness.
