In 2020, Australia's first non-alcoholic bar opened in Brunswick. Sydney quickly followed suit. Major liquor retailers are dedicating more and more shelf space for the growing range of no-alcohol and low-alcohol drinks.

Alcohol-free wines, beers and spirits are increasingly sophisticated, driven by consumers taking more care in what they drink - and how they choose to drink.

Over the past 15 years, alcohol consumption has decreased in Australia, from 10.8 litres per capita per year down to 9.4 litres, the lowest seen in 50 years. Similar trends have been seen globally.

The reduction has been particularly stark for the younger age groups: the number of people in their 20s abstaining from alcohol increased from 8.9% in 2001 to 22% in 2019.

Saying no to excessive drinking is the new act of youth rebellion.

'Sober curious' and 'mindful drinking'

Drinking or not drinking was once seen as binary: you were a drinker, or you were sober. But recent years has seen a rise of the " sober curious ", or the "mindful drinking" movement.

This might mean pausing to consider your need to drink, or how much you will drink. Maybe replacing your midweek glass of wine or beers with a non-alcoholic alternative. It's about stopping to ask yourself why you want to have a drink, and if each and every drink needs to be alcoholic.

This moves away from the extremes of teetotallers vs binge drinkers and opens up the idea of drinking - or not - on any given occasion.

We could also call these people moderate drinkers: they embrace mindful drinking as a lifestyle, using social media hashtags such as #soberissexy #sobercurious and #hangoverfree. These hashtags show images of health, happiness, empowerment, and success - people living life to the full.

Read more: #WineMom: Humour and empowerment or binge drinking and mental health challenges?

This idea of conscious or controlled drinking has generated a new culture of consumers who celebrate, share and hashtag their non- or low-alcohol drinking.

It's not grape juice

This shift in consumer attitudes has driven product innovation. Global alcohol brands are exploring alternatives, and several new brands have emerged with a focus on producing high-quality alcohol-free drinks that feel at home on any fashionable cocktail list.

Alcohol-free wine isn't grape juice. To be classified as wine in Australia, a product must be made from fermentation of fresh grapes. During fermentation, yeast converts fruit sugars to alcohol.

Fermentable sugars can be reduced by harvesting fruits early, creating wines naturally lower in alcohol, or alcohol can be removed from a finished wine product after fermentation.

Alcohol-free wines have been around for a while - the first non-alcoholic wines were produced more than 100 years ago, but the technological methods for "dealcoholisation" have seen drastic improvements.

Dealcholisation once resulted in drinks lacking aroma, flavour quality and the characteristics we associate with drinking a glass of wine. But alcohol can now be removed without destroying the flavour compounds of the wine - and in a cost-effective way at large scale.

Even with the rise of the sober curious, consumers think these drinks are of lower value. There is a belief because these drinks do not contain alcohol they should cost less. In practice, the production of high-quality alcohol-free wine and beer is more expensive and the potential savings on alcohol taxes are not making up for the increased costs.

Non-alcoholic wines are reported to be one of Australia's fastest growing drink categories, valued at more than A$4.5 million last year, predicted to be worth $15 million by the end of this year. Despite the growth, they still account for less than 1% of Australia's total wine consumption.

But ... what is the point?

So, why not just drink water, or a soft drink? Drinking is not just about quenching your thirst, or just about intoxication. Drinking is a social event, a ritual, a reward and an experience. Drinks are paired with food and are to be enjoyed.

Wine drinkers know it is more than just a drink or source of alcohol. A particular pour may be chosen for reasons such as health (think resveratrol in red wine), food pairings (a dry Chardonnay with crispy-skinned Barramundi), style (sipping an award-winning wine), intellectual challenge (sampling different grape varieties and regions) or tradition and fun (popping the cork of a sparkling white).

Many of these needs can be fulfilled by non-alcoholic wine.

Alcohol does contribute to the flavour profile of alcoholic drinks, and removing alcohol does change the taste. But today's makers are creative.

Wine does contain antioxidants, and moderate consumption has been linked with good health. But alcohol removal can give consumers the benefits of the antioxidants without risking adverse effects.

Read more: Non-alcoholic drinks: how healthy are they?

And while you're unlikely to think of beer as a sports drink, savvy marketers are thinking differently: Australians can now buy non-alcoholic "sports beers". ZERO+ Sports Beer claims these beers contain similar minerals and isotonic properties as sports drinks.

The future is mindful

Drinking alcohol is seen as a way to relax, socialise and gain a sense of pleasure.

But the mindful drinker gains their sense of pleasure and enjoyment through abstaining or moderating their drinking.

Embracing mindful drinking has been shown to generate positive feelings such as a sense of self-determination, building self-esteem, and feeling comfortable with one's social identity.

Consumers want alternatives and are excited by new products and innovation.

Some dealcoholised beers and wines have even won awards against standard strength wines - so the mindful drinker may be getting the pick of the shelf.

Reimagining our food and food system
Today, the conscious consumer is looking to food to improve their physical and mental health and that of the planet. Innovations fuelled by advancements in science and technology are changing the game and provide a wide array of opportunities for organisations to thrive and make a meaningful impact on society.

Deloitte Australia's Future of Food initiative seeks to bring various industry players together to rally around global grand challenge - from start-ups to large
corporates across the full value chain farmers. It aims to ignite change and
looks to influence public policy where change is needed. This initiative is
supported by a series of thought provoking publications and events that explore the latest trends and technologies in food, its societal implications and commercial opportunities for organisations.

Together we will feed the world we need.

The Big Bite

Innovations at the intersection of food and health are creating exciting opportunities for businesses and consumers to thrive. Technology and science is allowing us to take control over own health and mental wellbeing, it is also giving organisations the chance to launch meaningful products and services. Food is medicine and personalised, precision nutrition can become our future. This will move us from reactive to preventative care - tackling diseases before they occur and creating the best possible versions of ourselves.

In association with SingularityU Australia, Vanessa Matthijssen, our future of food leader speaks to CEOs, Chairs and leading scientists about the critical link between food and wellbeing in "The Big Bite", our latest expert interview series.

Affective computing, also known as emotion AI, combines insights from computer science, psychology and cognitive science to bring machines into the realm of human emotion. Affective computing enables systems that can both recognize human emotion (for instance, by analyzing eye movements, facial expressions and tone of voice) and convincingly simulate it when interacting with users.

Human augmentation technologies are making these capabilities highly customizable at scale. Already, sensors embedded in smartphones, wearables and scores of other objects are enabling behavioral change in real-time, real-world conditions. In the not-too-distant future, augmented and virtual reality could shape behaviors by customizing interactions in ways far beyond what is possible in the physical world. Imagine a salesperson avatar that can simultaneously maintain eye contact with hundreds of customers while modifying her accent, choice of words and tone of voice based on data about each customer's preferences.

Using behavioral economy capabilities

The tools and principles of the behavioral economy are particularly relevant at this point in time, as companies and governments seek to better understand the changing behaviors and preferences of their stakeholders. Here are three examples of ways in which these capabilities can be deployed to meet this challenge:

1. Becoming a listening organization

A key finding of the EY Future Consumer Index survey is that companies need to become listening organizations that use data analytics and AI to better understand consumers' changing needs to adapt products and services accordingly. Behavioral economy tools can help companies strengthen their listening muscles. For instance, behavioral economics can help elucidate counterintuitive patterns in customer behavior, which allows companies and governments to better predict behavioral shifts and account for their psychological underpinnings. The sensors embedded in human augmentation technologies allow organizations to listen in real-time, real-world conditions. Meanwhile, applications of affective computing allow for an entirely different kind of listening: recognizing and modulating users' emotional states in real time. This is tremendously relevant in the wake of the pandemic, which has fueled a silent epidemic of stress and mental health issues.

2. Nudging consumer behavior

The real power of behavioral economy tools is not just in their ability to listen to consumers, but also in their potential for influencing and shaping behavior. What pricing strategies would most appeal to consumers at a time when majorities across multiple countries have become more cost conscious? As some countries move toward recovery from the pandemic, how might messaging and emotional cues appeal to individuals who are proceeding with a sustained sense of anxiety? How might the design of physical spaces reassure people who are prioritizing health concerns like never before? Behavioral economics and affective computing can provide answers to these questions and more.

3. Maintaining social cohesion and trust

While social cohesion and trust had been under strain across much of the world well before the pandemic, COVID-19 has only amplified these trends. The pandemic has widened the economic divide by exacting a disproportionate toll on the economically disadvantaged. Disinformation and conspiracy theories have run rampant and increased social distrust. The EY Connected Citizen survey finds that 32% of citizens across the world fear that technology will make them feel less connected to their community. Behavioral economics helps explain the psychology behind these trends, pointing the way to actionable solutions. The work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, for instance, highlights how tribalism influences our perception of information across a swath of issues. Behavioral economics explains why technology - in particular, the algorithms and design of social media platforms - has had such a deleterious impact on trust and cohesion. For leaders in government - and, increasingly, in business as well - such behavioral insights provide the basis for understanding the drivers of polarization and the foundation for steps to remedy the problem.

The forest industry is increasingly global and every marketer of forest products should have a global perspective. As a natural resource-based industry, the forest industry has an especially high profile role in environmental protection and is increasingly involved in climate change mitigation and management. Global forests are not only important because they provide a source of industrial raw material, but also because of the various other human needs they satisfy. A forest products marketer should have a basic understanding of the role that global forests play in society. Major societal trends are impacting the external environment within which the forest industry operates. We provide an overview of global forests and a brief description of the markets for the main categories of the forest industry.

CSIRO has released its Food & Agribusiness Roadmap, charting a course for products, technology and innovation to secure future success in the sector.

New technologies could see us eating algae-based sources of protein, developing allergenic-free nuts and tolerable varieties of lactose and gluten, and reducing environmental impact through edible packaging.

Speaking at the launch during the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology's (AIFST) 50th Anniversary Convention in Sydney, Assistant Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Craig Laundy , highlighted the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in driving new economic growth in the industry.

Keeping a greater share of food processing onshore and better differentiating Australian food products are major themes across the Roadmap, which calls on businesses to act quickly or risk losing future revenue streams to the competitive global market.

Developed with widespread industry consultation and analysis, the Roadmap seeks to assist Australian food and agribusinesses with the desire to pursue growth and new markets.

Deputy Director of CSIRO Agriculture and Food, Dr Martin Cole said Australia was well positioned to act as a delicatessen of high-quality products that meet the needs of millions of informed and discerning customers both here and abroad.

"Australian businesses are among the most innovative in the world, and together with our world-class scientists, can deliver growth in the food and agribusiness sector amid unprecedented global change," Dr Cole said.

"Less predictable growing conditions, increasingly global value chains and customers who demand healthier, more convenient and traceable foods are driving businesses to new ways of operating.

"Advances are already being made through the use of blockchain technology and the development of labels that change colour with temperature or time, or are programmed to release preservatives.

"This Roadmap will set us on the path to sustainable growth in the sector."

The Roadmap was developed in collaboration with the government-funded food and agribusiness growth centre: Food Innovation Australia Limited (FIAL).

Recently, FIAL launched their Sector Competitiveness Plan, which outlines the over-arching industry vision to grow the share of Australian food in the global marketplace and the necessary strategy to achieve the vision.

"With the growing Asian middle class, Australia is in the box seat to take advantage of the many emerging export opportunities," FIAL Chairman Peter Schutz said.

"Consumers are looking for differentiated products that cater to their needs.

"This is especially exciting for Australian food and agribusinesses which have the capability to respond with customised and niche products."

Australia exports over $40 billion worth of food and beverages each year with 63 per cent headed for Asia.

Dr Cole explained that Australia is a trusted supplier of sustainable, authentic, healthy, high quality and consistent products.

"We must focus on these strengths and enhance the level of value-adding to our products," DrCole said.

"Recent Austrade analysis shows early signs of such a shift, as for the first time in Australia's history value-added foods have accounted for the majority (60 per cent) of food export growth."

The Roadmap outlines value-adding opportunities for Australian products in key growth areas, including health and wellbeing, premium convenience foods and sustainability-driven products that reduce waste or use less resources.

Five key enablers for these opportunities are explored in the Roadmap: traceability and provenance, food safety and biosecurity, market intelligence and access, collaboration and knowledge sharing, and skills.

These enablers align with FIAL's knowledge priority areas that are central in helping the food and agribusiness industry achieve its vision and deliver increased productivity, sustainable economic growth, job creation, and investment attraction for the sector.

The Roadmap calls for improved collaboration and knowledge sharing to generate scale, efficiency and agility across rapidly changing value chains and markets.

"To survive and grow, the challenge facing Australia's 177,000 businesses in the food and agribusiness sector is to identify new products, services and business models that arise from the emerging needs of tomorrow's global customers," Dr Cole said.

FAST FACTS from Report

Current situation

Australia exports over $40 billion worth of food and beverages each year, and 88 per cent of these exports are bulk commodities.

Australia is a trusted supplier of sustainable, authentic, healthy, high-quality, safe and consistent products.

While Australian SMEs rank among the most innovative in the world, FIAL has found that only 5 per cent of our employing food and agribusinesses are 'businesses of tomorrow' that actively pursue new markets, take risks, connect well to end markets and continually invest in capability and knowledge.

Projections and trends

Less predictable growing conditions, more connected global value chains and customers who demand healthier, more convenient and traceable foods are the major trends influencing food and agribusiness in Australia.

By 2021, markets for naturally healthy (US $291 billion), food intolerance (US $42 billion) and organic products (US $45 billion) are expected to have grown at up to 4.5 per cent compound annual growth rate.

The global edible insect market is expected to grow from US$34 million in 2014 to over $520 m by 2023.

Australian businesses are increasingly value-adding. For the first time in Australia's history, value-added/premium foods accounted for the majority (60 per cent) of food export growth in the three years to 2016.

Value-adding opportunities for growth

Products for health and wellbeing, including free-from and natural foods, supplements, fortified and functional foods, and personalised nutrition.

Sustainability-driven products and processes, including those that convert waste, provide alternative protein sources, sustainable packaging and green and ethical value chains.

Premium foods, including high-quality, convenient, fresh and packaged products; luxury products and gifts; tourism; and novel tastes, smells and textures.

Growth enablers to equip food and agribusiness for the long-term

Traceability and provenance: Food fraud costs the global food industry an estimated US$40 billion each year. Key technologies in the F&A sector include digital tracking (RFID chips, bar codes, QR codes, blockchain) and biological readings (isotopic analysis, DNA fingerprinting, biomarker compounds).

Food safety and biosecurity: An estimated 600 million (almost one in 10 people in the world) fall ill after eating contaminated food and 420,000 die every year, with the impacts greatest in Africa and South East Asia. Technologies that can increase food safety include microwave assisted thermal sterilisation and advanced packaging, such as labels that change colour with temperature or time, release preservatives or absorb moisture or odours.

Market intelligence and access: There is a significant lack of market intelligence within Australian F&A SMEs. Sensors and data analytics can track the end consumer and how the product is being used. Additional research can better understand regional preferences of different markets, especially in Asia.

Collaboration and knowledge sharing: Regional clusters, business consortia and more holistic R&D solutions will enhance the collaboration needed to generate scale, efficiency and agility across value chains and markets.

Skills: In coming decades, companies will need employees with broad-ranging skills, combining technical knowledge with an understanding of supply chains, experience with digital platforms and strong interpersonal skills. Both tertiary education and more structured on-the-job training have a role to play in developing these skills.

Open access (OA) is the name for free, digital, full-text scientific and academic material made available online. As defined by Creative Commons, open access papers are "digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions."

Unpaywall

Unpaywall, a non-profit project by Impactstory aims to make scholarly material more accessible by gathering open access content from over 50,000 journals and legal open access repositories, including those run by universities, governments, and scholarly societies.

Where Can I Find Open Access Journals?

There are a number of online tools that can help you source OA papers, and below are just a few.

Directory of Open Access Journals is a community-built directory that provides access to peer reviewed journals.

PubMed Central is run by the National Institute of Health and is a full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journals, which increases visibility of scholarly material.

ROAD allows you to search for OA papers by name, subject, or ISSN number.
