The National Restaurant Association (NRA) of the USA just released their 2015 culinary forecast based on a survey of 1350 chefs across the US. While the results are clearly US specific, the trends are quite interesting.
While the western world is moving towards more locally produced, fresh and sustainable food, it is sad that developing countries like India are moving in the other direction - high growth in processed food, preference for global food and push for more efficiency in cold storage & logistics - essentially all of this resulting in the fact that the customers eventually get food that is not fresh, stored for a long time and simply reheated/finished at the restaurant. This trend is primarily driven by the economic opportunity here in India currently. Wish someone takes notice and provides support to restaurants doing local & fresh stuff.
