Demand for Food-Safety Products Projected to Increase.

[jtuck004]

They see a need because of what has happened in past incidents, and also because of future regulation. A purposeful attack on food would probably drive the same sort of thing.

'Cause even the TSA ain't gonna pat down all that lettuce...

I saw this in the Futurist Update, the free newsletter of the World Futurist Society here:

The full report is $5800, so you may need to invent something and make a lot of money before you go looking for it - don't think interlibrary loan will get it. But it serves as an example of the kind of solutions some people see a need for, that could drive job growth in the next century, (a project I have been gathering resources on). We will need new jobs if we expect to have anything other than a slowly dying economy...

The demand for products that help ensure a safer food supply may see accelerating growth in the next three years, according to research by The Freedonia Group.

Disinfectants, diagnostic products, smart labels and tags, software, and tracking systems are among the sectors expected to see gains as consumer reaction to food contamination cases and stricter safety regulations contribute to growing demand.

Worldwide, demand for food-safety products grew at an average of 7.8% per year between 2004 and 2009; Freedonia projects this to increase to 8.1% per year between 2009 and 2014.

DETAILS: “World Food Safety Products” (November 2010, 315 pages) is available for $5,800 from The Freedonia Group Inc.
