The impact that pandemic is causing an acceleration of the innovation, the technology and digitization in all sectors. Many questions and uncertainties arise as to what the future will bring us in this complex context, how will we relate, how will the new forms of work be and of course how we will feed ourselves.
In this last scenario is where new forms appear that lead innovation based on the “food design”, “food tech” or the “social food”, through redesigning the world of food combined with the social and environmental challenges that are demanded at the moment.
Thanks to Foodture Barcelona, The innovation congress where the world's most cutting-edge techniques and projects are made available to future inventors, we have made a compilation of 10 projects that help us understand what will the food of the future be like and that you can also follow through Instagram.

3.- Space Food Systems
As on earth, nutrition plays a key role in maintaining the health and optimal performance of astronauts before, during and after space flight. Food that flies in orbit should not only be of high quality, they must be appetizing even when an astronaut's taste buds have changed due to fluid changes in weightlessness.
It must also be safe, easy to prepare and eat in a confined space with limited heating options. The team of Space Food Systems must meet the nutritional needs of each crew member and meet limited storage space requirements, limited preparation options and the difficulties of eating without severity. Food plays a critical social and psychological role during an astronaut's stay on the ISS.
