THIS IS THE STORY OF THE FOOD.

HOW WILL BE IN THE FUTURE?

Food in the futureThe key for a better world is an equal subdivision of food. In the future food will change. A lot of people say that in the future we will eat insects but we hope that we will continue to eat pizza and pasta alla carbonara!
