From primitive stoves to smart-fridges, technological innovations are changing the way we interact with our food across the globe. Cheap and simple innovations in developing countries have the potential to improve basic conditions of daily life. High-tech innovations may help us be more sustainable and productive in the West, and have future applications in the developing world. Our experts explore some interesting technological extremes of the food world, and the role they have to play in improving lives and safeguarding our future.
