Abstract
This chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities facing food industries during application of innovations. Strategies and long-term R&D issues (e.g., network development, open innovation, the role of innovation policies, etc.), technical innovation aspects (e.g., product development, emerging technologies, sustainable innovation, etc.) as well as cutting-edge areas (e.g., biobased packaging materials, functional foods, food waste recovery, adoption of information and communications technologies, foodomics, etc.) are critically discussed with a final purpose of identifying the main needs and resistance of the food industry. This chapter discusses all the critical outcomes from the previous chapters, suggests solutions to overcome difficulties during implementation, and ultimately presents a perspective on where we go now, following the current consumer acceptance tendencies.
