Original 2021 statement: You’ll have a custom 3D food printer in your home as you become a part of the world of real-time, customizable food programming

What Jim has written about this

From “Daily Inspiration: “You are what you eat. Soon, you’ll eat who you are with the emergence of real-time, customizable food programming!”” (January 2019)

“You are what you eat. Soon, you’ll eat who you are with the emergence of real-time, customizable food programming!” - Futurist  Jim Carroll

A hot trend? We are seeing the birth of an industry of customizable, programmable, AI based, real time food planning based on instant health assessment!

Increasingly, you’ll be eating food that aligns to your particular DNA, and based on real time body insight. It will be highly customized. As I state on stage, my glycemic index for an apple might be different from yours. Want to have some fun? Watch the multi-billion dollar investments that major food, science, healthcare and tech companies are making within this new, fast exploding sector.

From “Daily Inspiration: “It’s time to move from triage to tomorrow!”” (January 2023)

We’re moving to a world of 24-hour farming - autonomy means that we no longer have to farm only when the sun is up

The world of science will have taken us from 19 million known chemical substances today to 5 billion by 2100 - and this will lead to the birth of countless new billion-dollar industries

From ““We Used To …” - A Look Back at How Primitive Our World Was in 2019” (May 2019)

energy and utilities : in the early part of the 21st century, we had one big energy grid and relied on carbon sources such as oil, coal, and natural gas. Now, we have many little inter-connected micro-grids based on wind and solar renewable energy sources

hi-tech . We used to have things called computers, which were physically separate devices that we carried around or plopped on our desks. Now, intelligence is embedded everywhere; in our clothing, eyeglasses, car, home and factories. It’s just there.
