• The Food Futurist’s Purpose

  To address in a non-biased and pragmatic manner issues that will affect future food supply and food production. The goal is to stimulate critical thinking about effective action for a successful future of food and farming.

  This is part of The Food Futurist's mission, which is about helping clients challenge today’s certainties, shape the future, and manage the transition with a targeted and practical action plan for the coming decades.

• What is futurism?

  Futurism is sensible thinking about the most likely and logical evolution that will take place in the years to come.
  It requires analysis, understanding of the past, vision and intuition for things to come.
  Therefore, it is neither having a crystal ball, nor writing science fiction.
  Of course, instead of predicting the future, there also is the possibility of helping shaping it...
  
  The Food Futurist is a division of The Happy Future Group Consulting Ltd, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

• Why “The Food Futurist”?

  “The reason I chose for the futurist format has its roots in my professional experience. Through the years, I discovered that I have a strong ability to predict quickly and accurately whether certain approaches will work or not. It has allowed me to turn around business activities rapidly and successfully. This ability has helped my employers and those who consulted me to achieve great results, and this is exactly what I offer my clients with The Food Futurist!”
