44: What's next after pasta? A look at consumer trends in the new normal

<div>The Covid-19 pandemic has changed consumer perception of the food industry and supply chains, with workers in the industry being recognised for their resilience and being key to our health and wellbeing. The crisis has caused some noticeable short-term changes in consumer purchasing behaviour but how will it affect long-term consumer trends? Will the focus on health and nutrition that has resulted from the coronavirus pandemic continue for the foreseeable future?
