Future foods: What will we be eating in 20 years' time?

[Jazzy]

It's not immediately obvious what links Nasa, the price of meat and brass bands, but all three are playing a part in shaping what we will eat in the future and how we will eat it.



Rising food prices, the growing population and environmental concerns are just a few issues that have organisations - including the United Nations and the government - worrying about how we will feed ourselves in the future.



In the UK, meat prices are anticipated to have a huge impact on our diets. Some in the food industry estimate they could double in the next five to seven years, making meat a luxury item.



In the West many of us have grown up with cheap, abundant meat, says food futurologist Morgaine Gaye.



Rising prices mean we are now starting to see the return of meat as a luxury. As a result we are looking for new ways to fill the meat gap.



So what will fill such gaps and our stomachs - and how will we eat it?

I'll be the same meat-and-veggie eater, but the economy has exploded. Are national Food and Drug Administrations going to eliminate meat in favour of vegetarians and vegans, so a person doesn't have to pay dollars, British pounds, Euros, Yen, etc. for the luxurious meat used for spaghetti with meat sauce, tacos, or even burgers and hot dogs?

Yes, Nowadays all the food prices are increasing rapidly. Government's all around the world should take some action to decrease the prices of the food.
