How Covid-19 Will Affect The Way We Eat…

By Merab Inyika March 30, 2021

Covid -19 has made ripples of impact to many nations across the globe, bringing them to a virtual standstill. Most countries have implemented nationwide lockdown in some form or the other to stop the spread of the virus. Covid-19 has forced all of us to change to our way of life, thereby, affecting our physical and psychological well-being. The food industry is also experiencing a shift in consumer preferences.

Quarantine and self-isolation forced many of us to go back to organic, homegrown ingredients with minimal risk involved in eating. With little or no options to eat out, cooking is quickly becoming a trend.

All these point towards one direction - food trends and eating patterns will never be the same even once after the Corona virus pandemic. The impact of the virus is here to change how we look at food for a long time

  1. Healthier Eating

The craze around healthy eating has been on the rise, and the Covid19 pandemic will fuel it further. People seek to boost their immune system in response to the outbreak by eating healthier and taking great care in choosing what they put on their plates.

  1. Home-Cooked Food

32% of adults plan to eat at restaurants less often due to Covid-19. The result is understandable given the home-bound people in self-isolation who have no option, but to eat at home. This is slowly becoming a preference rather than a compulsion, and these changes might be here for a long.

  1. Local Eating Trend

With more consumers caring about eating habits, locally grown food are making a comeback. People prefer eating hyper local foods, which are easily available. Skepticism around unknown, foreign foods is on the rise with people choosing their locally grown organic alternatives.

  1. Emphasis on Food Safety

Healthy eating also comes with the caveat of being safe and hygienic. Corona virus has elevated fear about food safety, which is a priority for many while purchasing food items.

Whether the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic lasts a year or more - eating habits will not be the same. Food preferences and the culture of eating are changing.
