“…[50][51][52] The process of digitalization has also contributed to the emergence of physical spaces such as internet cafés 53 and, more recently, innovations such as just-in-time restaurants, in the form of food trucks or other mobile food services that take food vending to different locations based on an online dialogue with consumers to identify where the demand is at that moment in time. 54 Regarding food product properties, this review found examples of emerging food products such as 3D printed food. This includes a variety of products, from 3D printed pastries, to 3D printed meat and other products using a blend based on fruits and vegetables.…”

Food environments are directly linked to diets and health outcomes such as overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable diseases. The digitalization of food environments is becoming a central issue in public health, yet little is known about this emerging field. We performed a systematic scoping review to map the research on the digital food environment and investigate how the eight dimensions of the food environment, according to an established framework (availability, prices, vendor and product properties, marketing and regulation, accessibility, affordability, convenience, and desirability), might be shifting in the context of a digital society. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between 2000 and 2019, using search terms covering digital technology and food environment, which yielded 13,580 unique records. Our analysis of 357 studies shows that digitalization is taking place in all dimensions of the food environment, and enabling the emergence of new forms of buying and selling food, such as online grocery shopping and online food delivery, which may be changing availability of foods and affecting the physical distance to shops and time allocated for shopping. Systematic reviews identified indicated that digital food marketing and social media can influence food choices, preferences and consumption. Our findings suggest that digital and physical food environments are interconnected and influencing one another, but the impact of the digital on health and nutrition is yet unclear.

“…Other names for food trucks include mobile food vendors; catering trucks; gourmet food trucks; and mobile restaurants. Due to their mobility, food truck vendors are able to offer a wider variety of menu items and attract new customers who prefer outdoor dining (Martin, 2014; Wessel et al ., 2015). Considered a trendy activity, visiting food trucks has become a cultural phenomenon in urban areas.…”

PurposeIn recent times, the market for food trucks has been growing due to customers seeking convenient food options. However, not many studies have been carried out to understand why consumers choose to visit food trucks. Hence, the purpose of this study is to understand consumers' intentions to visit food trucks through the theoretical lenses of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the theory of consumption values (TCV).Design/methodology/approachA purposive sampling method was utilised to gather data from 203 food truck customers through a cross-sectional online survey. Data were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe findings indicate that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control have a significant positive impact on consumers' intentions to visit food trucks. Furthermore, taste value, health value, emotional value and epistemic value have a significant positive effect on attitudes. However, neither price value nor interaction value has a significant impact on attitudes.Originality/valueThis study represents a pioneering effort in combining the theoretical perspectives of the TPB and the TCV to investigate consumers' intentions to visit food trucks. The resulting integrated model provides a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence consumers' decisions to visit food trucks. The findings are expected to furnish food truck vendors with valuable insights on crafting efficient marketing and operational tactics to retain their existing customer base and entice new consumers.
