“…Drivers of change feature heavily because they are considered the building blocks for scenarios (Van der Heijden et al, 2002). Indeed, the two most important driving forces are often selected to shape a particular scenario in order to give a particular viewpoint or essence (Anindita, 2017;Postma & Yeoman, 2016;Steiger, 2012;Sundbo, 2016). Megatrends or drivers are usually considered hierarchical drivers of change representing those driving forces that take a global perspective.…”

In parallel with the growth and popularity of food tourism, the increase in food specificevents and festivals has been significant. Events have become an important element of theexperience economy; often their economic and social benefits have been related toimprovements in the quality of life for communities and regions. Food festivals provide anopportunity for event goers to socialize, as by their nature they bring people together.However, how do we future proof the success of such events? Adopting a practice theoryposition and a pragmatism paradigm, this paper investigates the future of food festivals using a case study of Wellington on a Plate (WOAP), which is New Zealand’s most successful foodfestival, operated by the Wellington Culinary Events Trust (WCET). In line with scenarioplanning research methods, 12 ‘remarkable persons’ were interviewed to identify 22 mega-drivers of change, including mobility, redefining luxury, technological immersion, socialcapital, social demography changes, and accessibility. Adapting Yeoman’s (2015) conceptualframework of food tourism drivers for food festivals and linking to these mega-drivers ofchange, a conceptual framework was derived that considers five factors of success, namelyFood Festivals as Political Capital; Food Festivals as a Visionary State; Sense ofCommunity; The Drive for Affluence and Exclusivity; and Fluid Identity and Foodies. Thedevelopment of this conceptual framework, which links success to the external environment,contributes to the future-proofing of food festivals.

“…In fact, the clear trend towards increasing the consumption of food that needs packaging carries with the constant development of materials and techniques that improve the performance of this service [12]. In short, it can be distinguished several aspects [13]: the improvement of the production times, the reduction of the material and the improvement of its aesthetic and functional properties.…”

In the context of food packaging design, customization enhances the value of a product by meeting the needs of the consumer. Personalization is also linked to adaptation. This makes it possible to improve the properties of the packaging from various points of view: functional, aesthetic, economic and ecological. Currently the functional and formal properties of packaging are not investigated among themselves, however the study of both properties are the basis for creating a new concept of personalized and sustainable product. In accordance with this approach, the conceptual design procedure of packaging with personalized and adapted geometries based on the digitization of fresh food is proposed in this work. This study is based on the application of advanced technologies for the design and development of food packaging, in this case apples, in order to improve the quality of the packaging. The results obtained show that it is possible to use advanced technologies in the early stages of product design in order to obtain competitive products adapted to new emerging needs.

“…Future innovations in food manufacturing are expected to be based on the capabilities of all the agents involved in the provision of food. This includes agriculture, the manufacturing industry, and retailers (Sundbo 2016). These transformations are expected to generate unforeseen challenges that will necessitate solutions that can drive the food sector toward a more sustainable future.…”

Existing large-scale centralised food production practices are often unsustainable due to requirements for significant transportation of both raw materials and finished products. These approaches also require substantial concentrated demands on energy and water. In addition, increasing amounts of food waste are being generated worldwide by manufacturers and retailers due to their dependence on unreliable demand forecasting methods as part of centralised production practices. Regulatory pressures and policy requirements as well as consumer demands for increased variety, improved traceability, and healthy diets are forcing manufacturers and retailers to reconsider their ingredient sourcing, production, storage, and distribution strategies. "Distributed and Localised Manufacturing" (DLM) aims to provide the food sector with capabilities to improve the efficiency of production systems, to optimise logistics operations across supply chains, and to extend the shelf life of products. However, to achieve these potential benefits, the implementation of DLM will involve many challenges that need to be carefully considered and addressed. This article explores these challenges and describes four specific implementation models to aid with the development of innovative and appropriate DLM structures for various food products.
