Besides, our presentation also included another part which is about food trends in Australia. Many types of research brought out a conclusion that health-conscious offerings would be the top food trend this year. It also focuses on vegan, vegetarian and organic offerings. Nowadays, the proliferation of Korean cuisines such as fried chicken and Budae-jjigae seems like they’re dominating the global food market. However, the truth is that consumers are increasingly seeking healthy food options. This phenomenon can be put down to many extraneous factors in Australia.
For example, the gentrification of Aussie neighborhoods, the influence of social media, a continued interest in, in reality, cooking shows, and the popularity of health and wellness industry influencers. In fact, although diners are concerned and aware of healthy food, that does not mean they are willing to sacrifice taste. They still want to get excited with different flavor combinations. Thus, the restaurants need to take prompt attention and action towards this new food trend.
We have found out that most of the restaurants simply create more menu options that cater to these data. The restaurant can even combine two ideas which can keep the taste and health at the same time for the optimal result. As for their existing dishes, they can keep the popular items but make them a little bit healthier.
Moreover, the next part of our presentation is about Australian food a global view, and the food challenges that Australia is facing. As many reports and news mentioned, Australia has been a world leader when it comes to food production in challenging environments.
They own a desirable record, particularly in improving crop water-use efficiency so as to maintain their clean and green image. Australia focuses on agricultural and food industries as they are the important constitution in their economy and national identity. They will remain these propositions since the global demand for food may rise over the next four decades. In order to sustain and increase the rate of productivity growth of food in Australia, there are two main challenges it needs to tackle. Research and innovation are crucial because of the increasing global demand for food. Producers in Australia need to overcome environmental challenges due to climate change, land degradation, and biosecurity threats while also sustaining and increasing rates of productivity growth. As for processors, they need to remain competitive with low-cost competitors and imports in order to help feed the world.
