DALLAS, TX - DMA Solutions is offering insights into the next year’s food landscape with its new 2019 Food Trends resource—an all-encompassing guide designed to inform all aspects of business—from packaging to marketing—and help brands make strategic decisions throughout the year.

“At DMA we solely represent brands in fresh produce, which means we are uniquely positioned to understand the need for our industry to stay abreast of trends that can positively impact our businesses,” said President and CEO Dan’l Mackey Almy, in a press release. “That is why, in this edition of Food Trends, we went beyond the plate and broadened our research on trending food topics.”

According to that press release, the DMA Solutions team of seasoned marketers saw an opportunity to expand beyond traditional food trends typically focusing on flavors and popular cuisines. The team did extensive research to assess trends from “field to table” and also talked to leading chefs and influencers to gain expert insight into what they see happening in 2019.
