Technology for the foodservice industry, the comeback of desserts, and alcohol-free drinks are just some of the trends of 2022. Some of them are evergreen classics, but some interesting news ones are making their way. Even though the uncertainty of Covid makes it difficult to make predictions on culinary trends for 2022, some direction is emerging clearly. In addition to the consolidation of interest for transparency, ethics, reliability and sustainability, the desire to create a life which identifies with values that respect nature and humankind are evident. For example, the international experts of Whole Food Market highlight great interest in greenhouse vegetables grown with natural sunlight and with one hundred percent renewable energy. At the same time, there is interest in regenerative agriculture, whose goal is to avoid agricultural soil depletion. In this context, we try to identify which will be the behaviours of consumers this year, underlining some of the critical points that have emerged from rapid technological advances. Technology and foodservice Today, the food world is increasingly attentive to new technologies. The latest development comes from the US, where home deliveries are made by drones. Currently, the service is provided only in towns located outside of urban cities and in places where the weather allows for it, but soon it could also be offered in metropolitan areas. This terrorizes restauranteurs that fear radical changes in foodservice concepts. Louis Hansel Shotsoflouis-on Unsplash 21
