Food is an essential part of people’s lives, and as such is much more than just a means of survival. It is also the main factor in how we view ourselves and others. It plays a big role in all social and political issues, and is a bastion of popular media. Over the past few decades, we have witnessed a rise in food-focused media and culture. A food explosion surrounds us everywhere we look, from TV shows such as 24 Kitchen, Kitchen Confidential, Jamie Oliver to organic products, healthy diet magazines and food festivals. There is an increased awareness of food’s significance within contemporary society and culture hence we decided to choose food.

When it comes to purchasing food and beverages people are impulsive buyers and retail is still the king. In developed countries majority of the food products, beverages and snacks are sold to consumers directly through a network of retail stores owned by multinational corporations with deep pockets and the trend is catching on in other countries as well. The barrier for entry into the food business is still low yet small food companies are finding it harder than ever to enter big box retail stores because of their inability to scale, pay high retail shelf space prices and inability to raise capital for advertising and marketing.
