The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

This analysis dissects the retail ecosystem through three primary lenses: Waste, Cost, and Quality. It contrasts the behemoth efficiency of the centralised supermarket supply chain with the resilient, albeit fragmented, local food web. By integrating data from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, and leveraging recent developments from industry titans like Instacart and Amazon, we aim to provide a granular understanding of where value is created—and destroyed—from the farm gate to the kitchen table.
