• 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!”

  Christophe Pelletier

• 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.

• The Food Futurist’s Books

  My two books explore the future of food and farming and how we will feed 9 billion people by 2050

  Future Harvest focuses on the potential to produce more food and answers the question of whether it is possible or not to feed a growing population

  A book with true foresight!
  Published in the summer of 2010, long before the current hype, it already announced new food price hikes and the potential for unrest in the Arab world. This was all over the news in early 2011!
  And Future Harvests contains many more predictions of what will come. Read about the future before everyone else!

  We Will Reap What We Sow is Future Harvests II. It starts where Future Harvests ends and it focuses on the role of leadership and the responsibility of us all, consumers as well as producers, to meet future demand in a sustainable manner.
  The book reviews scenarios for change and shows how our choices will shape the future, for better or for worse...
  The must read for all decision makers!

  Now with new cover!

• My 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.
  To envision the full picture, I combine science and philosophy, analysis and intuition, technology and human nature, in all areas necessary for the analysis.
  Of course, instead of predicting the future, there also is the possibility of helping shaping it...
