Food tech startup founder lacks reliable sources and methodology for forecasting multi-year food trends to inform product and strategy decisions.

No single trusted source or structured approach exists for medium-to-long-term food trend forecasting; available data is scattered across short-term social media trends, proprietary reports, or general consumer surveys, making it hard to synthesize actionable insights for food tech innovation.
