 + 
 +====Trends per Type==== 
 + 
 +For < 50 years. 
 + 
 +===Social=== 
 + 
 +===Technological=== 
 + 
 +   * Development of "resource-efficient" large-scale agriculture techniques (agro-ecological systems using bio-sourced fertilizers, methanisation...) > adverse environmental impacts such as pollution & reduction in biodiversity 
 +   * Appearance of luxury technofood (like the lab-grown hamburger) > only for very rich people, with unknown impact on health 
 +   * Increase of GMO-food & seeds market share > probable adverse health effects, such as cancers [Gilles Seralini] 
 +   * Existing minority, stable or decreasing, of small-scale sustainable farmers, holding the know-how for a potential rise after collapse. 
 + 
 +===Environmental=== 
 + 
 +   * Massive pollution of water, soil and atmosphere > increased systemic diseases such as cancer & neurodegenerative medicines; potentially contributing to a loss in biodiversity. 
 +   * Decrease of soil fertility > reduction of available quantity & diversity of food > starvation for specific locations & poor people; adverse health effects for a wide range of the world population; geopolitical instability. 
 +   * Increase of desertification > reduction of available quantity & diversity of food > starvation for specific locations & poor people, adverse health effects for a wide range of the world population; geopolitical instability. 
 +   * Climate change 
 +     * Increase of Extreme Climatic Events, f. i. Floods & Droughts > localized high food scarcity; when combined with hyper-specialization  of food crops per location (see Economical trends), world-wide scarcity of specific ingredients. 
 +     * Change in seasonal patterns and average climatic conditions > change of food crops production balance worldwide. 
 +   * Decrease of Biodiversity > decrease of available food crops; reduced resilience to change in seasinal patterns & climatic conditions > reduction of available quantity & diversity of food > starvation for specific locations & poor people; adverse health effects for a wide range of the world population; geopolitical instability. 
 +   * Decrease of available energetic resources > Increase on "traveling food" prices > when combined with increased inequities in personal wealth (see Economical Ttrends), reduce of food ingredients availability for most of the population (see Economical trends) > reduction of available quantity & diversity of food > starvation for specific locations & poor people; adverse health effects for a wide range of the world population; geopolitical instability. 
 + 
 +===Economical=== 
 + 
 +   * Increased globalization of economy 
 +     * Prevalence of large-scale over small-scale food production > environmental impacts such as pollution & reduction of soil fertility 
 +     * Hyper-specialisation of food crops grown on a given territory > reduced resilience to extreme climatic events (see Environmental trends); what happens when transport becomes more expensive ? 
 +   * Increased financiarisation of economy 
 +     * Adverse effects of speculation on food prices > Reduction of food availability and diversity for most of the world population > Adverse health effects such as obesity, cancers & neurodegenerative diseases due to massive exposition to polluted food 
 +   * Increasing inequities in personal wealth > Reduction of food availability and diversity for most of the world population > Adverse health effects such as obesity, cancers & neurodegenerative diseases due to massive exposition to polluted food 
 + 
 +===Demographic=== 
 + 
 +   * Increase of global population > More food needed 
 +   * Increase of urban population 
 +     * Massive amount of energy needed to bring food to urban citizens > Increase resource depletion 
 +     * Increased urban pressure on neighboring fertile soils > Reducing availability of fertile soils 
 + 
 +===Cultural=== 
 + 
 +   * Most prevalent religions & related food regimes (Pork-free Islam & Bee-free hinduism ?) 
 +   * Prevalent cultural impact to the food still produced industrially (Nestlé, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Exki...) 
 +   * Moderate rise of GASAPs, Slow Food & Organic Food movements 
 + 
 +===Political=== 
 + 
 +   * Increase of far-right, nationalist and identity-focused movements > back to traditional cooking & reduced diversity of cooking 
 +   * Increase of patenting & reduction of authorized varieties > reduction of animal & plant species available for cooking. 
 + 
 +===Boiling it down===
