食品创新可以创造新颖的营养食品,提高农业可持续性,增加农业食品工业的市场利润。我们的研究提出了食品创新的共识定义,并通过使用Delphi研究预测了未来五年将向消费者提供的食品创新。来自美国和英国的13位35至85岁的专家研究或从事农业和营养工作,公共卫生,农业食品工业,或食品政策参与了三轮德尔福研究。专家是使用雪球采样方法选择的。本研究遵循了兰德公司推广的实施和数据分析指南。食品创新的共识定义(76.9%的共识)是“食品创新有助于发展,生产,或者新食品的运输,进程,或者促进人类健康的技术,粮食安全,或环境可持续性。具体的食品创新,超过69%的人同意,被列为(1)植物性肉类替代品,(2)个性化营养,(3)天然食品,(4)新的转基因生物,(5)再生农业,(6)都市农业,(7)包装创新,(8)替代面粉,(9)提高保质期,(10)供应链技术,(11)改善土壤健康,和(12)可追溯性技术。食品创新定义和确定的具体食品创新可以进一步连接农业价值链,以开发新的营养食品并提高农业可持续性。农业食品行业专家,从业者,研究人员,政策制定者可以推进食品创新发展和研究,确定农业价值链上具体的食品创新。
Food innovations can create novel nutritious food, improve agricultural sustainability, and increase the agri-food industry\'s market profits. Our
study proposes a consensus definition of food innovations and forecasts food innovations that will be available to consumers in the next five years by using a Delphi
study. Thirteen experts aged 35 to 85 from the US and the UK researching or working in agriculture and nutrition, public health, the agri-food industry, or food policy participated in three rounds of this Delphi
study. The experts were chosen using the snowball sampling method. This
study followed the implementation and data analysis guidelines popularized by the Rand Corporation. The consensus definition for food innovations (with 76.9% agreement) was that \'food innovations aid in the development, production, or transportation of new food products, processes, or technology to promote human health, food security, or environmental sustainability\'. The specific food innovations, which had over 69% agreement, are ranked as (1) plant-based meat alternatives, (2) personalized nutrition, (3) natural foods, (4) new genetically modified organisms, (5) regenerative agriculture, (6) urban agriculture, (7) packing innovations, (8) alternative flours, (9) improving shelf life, (10) supply chain technologies, (11) improved soil health, and (12) technology for traceability. The food innovation definition and identified specific food innovations could further connect the agricultural value chain to develop novel nutritious foods and improve agricultural sustainability. Agri-food industry specialists, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers can advance food innovation development and research pinpointing the specific food innovations along the agricultural value chain.
