The Future of Food: Trends from 2025 and into 2026
Episode 142
This week on One Bite is Everything, we’re taking a look back over all the conversations we’ve had in 2025 with farmers, chefs, historians, entrepreneurs, policy thinkers, and food system insiders. Here, a quiet thread emerges: the future of food. Not as an abstract concept, but as something that’s already shaping our grocery carts, our communities, and the lives of the hardworking farmers at the center of it all.
In this episode, Dana breaks down the biggest forces that will shape what we eat in 2026 and beyond. She weaves together insights from this year’s interviews, data trends, policy shifts, and stories from the field to bring you a grounded, clear-eyed look at what’s coming—and what it means for all of us.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The major themes that surfaced across the 2025 season
- Five trends that will define the year ahead—from labor shortages to climate pressure to the rise of localism
- How policy changes and funding gaps will ripple through farms, restaurants, and grocery stores
- The bright spots: regenerative farming, and the power of community action
- What all of this means for you as an eater in 2026
- Practical ways to support small farmers and strengthen your local food system
This is your roadmap to the year ahead—one that connects your plate to the bigger world in the most real, immediate ways.
