The Future of Food Chains

CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD

A VISION FOR OUR CITIES

Innovation will drive demand for R&D and incubator space

Large supermarkets will see partial re-purposing through distribution, additional retail and footfall-driving leisure uses

Mainstream adoption of battery storage will enable viability of vertical farming

Microfarming will add biodiversity and self-reliance for individuals and families, as well as providing additional income streams for landlords, operators and residents

New developments will include Rooftop greenhouses

Roof to plate restaurants will emerge, with many restaurants farming produce either on-site or within very close proximity

Last mile food orders will be fulfilled by Delivery robots
