However, the sector was able to reinvent itself and the resulting innovations, from takeaways and home-delivered food to street market food, has allowed many businesses to stay alive. And, as a new survey on confidence in the food sector suggests, these efforts appear to have been rewarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey, conducted in six countries (Spain, UK, Italy, Finland, Poland and Israel), is part of the results of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eitfood.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EIT Food<\/a>-funded project<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/en\/proyectos\/eit-food-trustchain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <em>Increasing consumer trust and support for the food supply chain and food businesses<\/em><\/a>, in which AZTI, CSIC, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid and Grupo AN are participating as Spanish representatives, and highlights as the main finding that the change was most pronounced in catering companies and restaurants, followed by food manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Professor Richard Bennett, Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Reading, leader of the project, explains, &#8220;<em>Necessity is the mother of invention and we have certainly seen this to be the case in the catering sector during the pandemic. Caterers have gone the extra mile over the past year to provide food and drink to consumers in a COVID-19 safe manner, and this has been very much appreciated by consumers<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking down the results shows how caterers and restaurants improved their public confidence scores to 4.43\/7 from 4.37\/7 in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to caterers, food manufacturers have also seen an increase in public trust scores for 2021, as the entire sector continues to improve its position in consumer perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_33_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">&Iacute;ndice de contenidos<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><label for=\"item\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1'><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/en\/crece-confianza-consumidores-servicios-catering-y-restaurantes-tras-pandemia\/#Agriculture_sector_remains_the_leader_in_terms_of_consumer_trust\" title=\"Agriculture sector remains the leader in terms of consumer trust\">Agriculture sector remains the leader in terms of consumer trust<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/en\/crece-confianza-consumidores-servicios-catering-y-restaurantes-tras-pandemia\/#Innovative_solutions_to_boost_consumers_trust\" title=\"Innovative solutions to boost consumers&#8217; trust\">Innovative solutions to boost consumers&#8217; trust<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agriculture_sector_remains_the_leader_in_terms_of_consumer_trust\"><\/span>Agriculture sector remains the leader in terms of consumer trust<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Spain, aside from the pandemic, confidence in farmers is the highest (5.17\/7), followed by retailers (4.677\/7), food manufacturers (4.40\/7), restaurants and caterers (4.36\/7) and authorities (3.81\/7).&nbsp; This is largely in line with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eitfood.eu\/media\/news-pdf\/EIT_Food_Trust_Report_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020 survey<\/a>, which also found that trust in farmers (5.25\/7) was the highest, followed by retailers (4.71\/7), restaurants (4.42\/7), and food manufacturers (4.36\/7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at this trust in relation to the pandemic, respondents in Spain stated that the Covid-19 situation increased confidence most in farmers (4.79\/7), followed by retailers (4.59\/7), restaurants and caterers (4.38\/7) and food manufacturers (4.37\/7). Quite similar to the data obtained in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in the case of restaurants and caterers, consumers in Spain indicated a slight decrease in trust due to Covid-19 in 2020 (3.87\/7), which has improved in 2021, making it the most notable finding of the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Innovative_solutions_to_boost_consumers_trust\"><\/span>Innovative solutions to boost consumers&#8217; trust<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Respondents were also asked to rate possible innovative solutions that could help increase public trust in the food system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the six countries, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/en\/servicios\/solutions-4-0-for-the-food-value-chain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blockchain-based technology<\/a> that verifies the traceability of food products was the most popular of the four proposed solutions. The three other suggested solutions were: smart labels to access information on food products; animal welfare apps; and information on healthy choices in restaurants and catering. The blockchain innovation was also the most popular among consumers in Spain. This technology allows consumers to be assured that the information relating to the traceability of a product is accurate, increasing confidence in the product and the food system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elena Santa Cruz, researcher at AZTI, adds on this point that &#8220;<em>there is a growing concern on the part of consumers to obtain information on the production process of products in order to be able to make a more conscious decision. In this sense, blockchain technology can help a lot<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-1024x173.png\" alt=\"EIT Food logo AZTI 2021\" class=\"wp-image-25390\" width=\"532\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-1024x173.png 1024w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-300x51.png 300w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-768x130.png 768w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-1536x259.png 1536w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-450x76.png 450w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-900x152.png 900w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-992x167.png 992w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-1200x203.png 1200w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape-1800x304.png 1800w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/EIT-Food-EU-Logo-RGB-Landscape.png 1837w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An international survey reveals that innovations in the catering and restaurants sector in the wake of the pandemic have boosted consumer confidence in the sector.
