据都柏林大学的帕特里克·沃尔,农产品业的未来是好的。不过,在奥特奇近期年会分组会议中沃尔发言说:消费者一定要信心,该行业会提供安全,健康,可持续发展的食品并将继续增长。

他解释说,对粮食生产的误解是在农业食品行业的市场造成的。由于少数劣质运营商在行业内的陋习,断开了人类和现代农业的连接。人们往往有行业的负面看法,认为现代农业是“工厂农业。”

处理不当的食品污染事件也让人们远离市场,在农业食品部门。沃尔举了一个大肠杆菌的例子,恐慌最初归因于西班牙黄瓜,虽然黄瓜不是爆发的源头,事件还是引起了2011年整个西班牙黄瓜的大量减产。

粮食生产和污染事故等不准确信息传播速度比以往任何时候都快。沃尔提醒参会者牛肉制品公司的负面影响,YouTube的视频含有杰米奥利弗有关精细质感牛肉声明,被称为“pink slime”

在除了避免误解,农业食品工业还必须促进其产品的健康性。正如沃尔解释说,如果在农业企业中,你实际上是在人类健康服务。饮食是健康的主要因素,人类的饮食与人生阶段的不同需求。农产食品工业用遗传学和营养,可以使自己的产品更健康和解决全球肥胖的健康问题。
