Eating and Drinking looks at the behaviours impacting the food and drink we buy and how we cook. Click below for the insights and innovations influencing this sector over the last six months.
It's well-known that food can be used as an emotional outlet. During lockdown, people are finding relief in cooking and eating, developing rituals to reconnect with their families and themselves.
While COVID-19 has prevented people from getting many of their favourite meals, some brands are bringing beloved nosh to their doors while others are releasing recipes to cook at home.
The coronavirus outbreak has jolted people into recognising their dependence on fragile supply chains. To be more autonomous in their eating habits, some are foraging for berries or honing their baking skills.
Tech is facilitating regular drinking rituals even as pubs and clubs have been forced to close. These online experiences are helping people discover new brands and get reacquainted with old favourites.
