Description
The food industry is most closely linked to a society´s lifestyle. Despite its good health, the food industry faces an unavoidable need of continuous adaptation. Adaptation through innovation is therefore necessary to adjust to the rapid changes in eating habits, which are determined by our present way of life.
Food represents about 20 % of the total expenses of the Spanish population. Changes in the family structure constitute an important factor to take into account. All experts point to the research and development sector as the challenge to guarantee that companies can adapt their products to the essential demands of consumers.
The obsession with safety is a defining feature of the food industry; creativity should be contingent on quality, safety and comfort. The higher standard of living is linked to greater spending potential in commodities with more added value, together with better presentations, useful life, flavour, etc. These standards are achieved through proper management, innovation and technological development.
The food industry aims at increasing the quality of its products, improving consumer confidence and promoting modernisation, technological development and environmental suitability.
