Yum Generation Setting Food Trends In 2017

As you all should know by now, the Yum Generation aka the Millennials Generation is the new force to be reckoned with when it comes to shaping the world as we know it. One of the major features of this generation – which has entitled them to carry the name Yum Generation – is their obsession with food. One can even call them foodaholics. And when we talk about the relationship between the Millennials and food, we don’t mean just the through-the-roof number of social media posts with photos of meals and snacks, we are talking about the comprehensive change this generation has brought to the food industry already. This generation’s influence has set in motion a radical change towards eating good, healthy, more eco-friendly foods. Millennials have also started the trend of consuming nutritious, fresh, locally-grown ingredients. So what can we expect in the year ahead of us, which trends will this generation establish in the food industry in 2017, and what will that mean for the future of society as well as for the industries affected?

Icelandic Circles That Take You To Nine Worlds

There is something fascinating about Norse mythology. I am not yet sure if it is because of the complex characters, the deities, or the sagas that were written after the Viking Age. But one thing is certain – you cannot remain indifferent once you read them or listen to them. One of the stories, or rather symbols in Norse mythology, is called ''The Nine Worlds'', and it tells an interesting tale. There are various types of beings that can be found in these nine worlds, and they all represent some kind of world such as: the world of humanity, the world of ice, the world of fire...

The Challenges Of Growing Up Digital

The Challenges Of Growing Up Digital

Digital immigrants (people born before the advent of digital technology) may have invented the technologies that modern kids use, but they didn't accurately anticipate how those kids would use them. For example, text messaging (SMS) was developed in the 1980s as an easy way for service engineers to communicate quickly. It would have been unimaginable that young people would chat instead of talking on the phone. This intersection of two views regarding technology usage has produced a new form of communication and a multibillion-dollar industry. The post-millennial "digital native" – a term coined by U.S. author Marc Prensky in 2001 – is emerging as the globe's dominant demographic. With so many possibilities in a globalized society, it’s easy to lose focus, and it is not so simple to maintain a healthy balance in the world of young people.

Millennials & Museums: A Match Made In Heaven?

Millennials & Museums: A Match Made In Heaven?

We have all been there – elementary school field trips during which we visited countless museums that looked way too big, were way too serious, and where we were warned multiple times not to touch anything or we would ruin it. Most Millennials had their first encounters with museums this way, so is it really a surprise that not many young people love museum-going? Having in mind that this generation is already the biggest demographic in the world, what does this mean for museums? Will Millennials be able to initiate change within these traditional institutions, or will the institutions disregard the needs and views of youth once more?

Yes, you would say: why a baker? But. Have you notice the number of newly-opened shops specializing just in bread or in pastry in general?

French bakery

What It Takes To Start A Bakery?

Clemence Digiovanni and Clara Pulja, both only 25, are already successful entrepreneurs. They get up every morning at 4 a.m. and work more than twelve hours so their customers can be happy and well fed. Although each of them originally decided to choose different life paths, an unplanned encounter in Northern France brought them together and allowed them to become business partners. Belgrade’s unique vibe enchanted them immediately, and without much planning they picked it as the right hot spot for their culinary adventure. Today they are the proud owners of the only genuine French bakery in the Serbian capital, called La Petite Cantine. In less than a year it has become a place that people talk about and rush to in the early morning hours, so they can grab their almond croissants while they’re still hot. And while their guests praise Clara and Clemence, calling what they do pure magic, they claim their business is just a reflection of themselves, representing the simplicity of life's pleasures at their best.

Asian Millennials: Future Rulers Of The Global Consumer Market

It is obvious by now that the Age of the Millennials has begun. The largest generation ever recorded in human history is expected to take over the global consumer market in the years just ahead. Asian Millennials currently represent 45 percent of the overall population of that region, and by 2020 it is expected that 60 percent of all Millennials will live in Asia. Having in mind that this region is one of the most important economic centers in the world, how will this generational shift affect the global market, and will Asian companies continue to grow or will the unusual lifestyle that Millennials promote have a negative impact on Asia’s development?
