14+1 STATE OF THE ART SWISS COMPANIES THAT CAN CHANGE THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Today, whenever you buy a glass of your favorite mayonnaise, a chocolate bar you’ve eaten since childhood, a bottle of the soft drink you like when you're thirsty, and thousands of other food products, checking on the package back, under the manufacturing company’s name, you can see the name and logo of a big corporation, which owns the company, its trademark and the product’s rights

Today, watching a news channel or reading a newspaper, you can hear or read periodically news like: “Food company X has been acquired by behemoth Y, stock prices rise” or “Multinational Y is considering to acquire company X, positive market feedback.”

The aforementioned big corporations are not hundreds but just 10; ten ( 10 ) multinationals rule the food industry and control whatever we eat and drink every day.

But, beyond this environment populated by giant factories with over-exploitation of human and natural resources, there is a small world populated by cutting-edge startups, and small and medium-sized enterprises managed by young visionaries or seasoned managers. These companies propose alternative, bio, sustainable food or alternative ways to manufacture it, traditional gourmet products manufactured with modern procedures, or even technologies applied to the food industry that can save the planet.
