We are experiencing challenging, exciting and sometimes frustrating times in the food industry. Although some activities are outside of our direct control or influence — such as the farm bill, ethanol subsidies, regulatory constraints — we are capable of shaping processes for future food manufacturing to meet the global population expansion.
As the economic status of individual consumers improves, they are consuming more protein, and as that happens, food manufacturing must evolve to meet the increased demand. Typical batch systems or piece methods are becoming extinct, necessitating the need to utilize technologies.
