155: Food Trends, Emerging Brands & Disruptive Innovation

Do you believe your food and beverage purchases have an impact on the environment? Do you follow a diet or eating pattern (clean, plant-based, mindful, calorie-counting)? Do you seek out "natural" foods to avoid artificial ingredients? Do you choose your beer to get more out of the price (higher ABV) or to reduce alcohol consumption altogether (zero ABV)? If any of these apply to you, then you're part of the latest trends in food and beverage. Tracy chats with Monica Watrous, managing editor for Food Business News, about the business of food, including the top food and beverage trends she's is seeing right now, examples of emerging brands to watch for and hopefully incorporate into event menus.
