Technologies create bold new possibilities. But it is people, and their tastes and values, that determine which possibilities become reality.
We’re entering a curious world of vibrating forks and designer orange juice, of microfarming and meat printing, of virtual meals and drone delivery.

How will we know if our food was sustainably produced? How fresh can we get it, and what will that mean? How will we define satisfaction?
