Abstract

Considerations about the future of food based on the possibilities opened up by digital technology are the subject of this article, based on the Opening Conference by historian Ken Albala, given at the VIII National Meeting of Consumer Studies. Food production, marketing and consumption, in addition to culinary practice, are presented in their contemporary dilemmas and rethought in the light of the trends of recent years, signaling the type of future that awaits us, in terms of our eating habits.
