Abstract:

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, navigating the ever-evolving landscape of food and nutrition is paramount. In a world characterised by relentless innovation, emerging research, the growing influence of AI and technology, and shifting consumer behaviours, how do we anticipate what the future holds? And more importantly, how can researchers and professionals prepare to stay ahead of the curve? Dive into the most anticipated trends of 2024 and understand the opportunities and challenges in the food and nutrition space to inform your work and align it with the evolving trajectories. Will AI and technology dominate the discourse, or will the focus shift towards women’s health, preventative healthcare, affordable nutrition, plant-forward diets – or perhaps something entirely unexpected? Join us to explore these intriguing prospects and fuse your contributions in a meaningful way.
