Demand for plant products is growing – forecasts in this food category for 2023
More plant-based innovations than ever are expected to hit the market in 2023. Last year was the year of vegan chicken, but in 2023, it is vegan fish and seafood that will prosper in the market. Sustainability will become increasingly important and food companies and chefs will look for new and creative ways to reduce waste. In addition, the plant-based options in the restaurant menu will be improved and expanded.
Food waste is a big problem. Every year, 2.5 billion tons of food are wasted worldwide. This contributes to greenhouse gas emissions because rotting old food produces methane. In 2023, more brands will work to solve this problem.
