Document Summary

Agriculture and agri-food canada have made predictions as to canadian food trends that will be seen up to 2020: lomoar cp sd. Aging canadians: it is projected that there will be more seniors and fewer children in the canadian population in 2020 then we have seen in past years. This will influence the types of food that there is demand for in the population. An evolving society: it is predicted that brand names will become less of a status symbol, and will be used by consumers to express individuality. Other changes in society are also expected to affect food choices, including decreased family size, environmental awareness, globalization, and participation in the workforce. Changing meal patterns: food preparation is predicted to decline, with a shift towards small, frequent meals or snacks instead of three meals a day. This would result in a greater demand for more portable food options.
