imagining the Food products of the future

We create conceptual food products that imagine what our grocery store shelves will look like in the face of massive food systems change. Inspired by the auto industry’s concept cars, our concept food products are tangible visions of what products we might see on shelves in the coming decades.

Our concept products are artifacts that amplify what we call "weak signals." Weak signals are nascent trends, technologies, and behaviors that are early-stage today, but could become mainstream in the future (a strong signal). These products envision what happens when the progressive, new ideas of today become mainstream, old ideas of tomorrow. 

Concept products are meant to inspire today's food industry into reexamining nascent trends and more aggressively pursuing ambitious ideas that are better for people, planet, and profit.

We also work with food companies to create real concept products that explore possible future outcomes in their industry. Shoot us an email at info@thefuturemarket.com to inquire about a custom concept food product.

Crop Crisps

Once you open a box of Crop Crisps, you won’t be able to stop. These supremely snackable crackers are versatile enough to enjoy on their own or be paired with cheese, dips, spreads, and more. Crop Crisps are available in four annual varieties -- hard red wheat, white winter wheat, lentil, and chickpea -- and that’s no coincidence. We plant and rotate our crops every year in a four-year cycle so that each variety restores natural balance and harmony to the soil and environment. Crop Crisps, we’re always revolving.

Three Sisters

Three Sisters harnesses the brilliant agricultural techniques of Native Americans to produce delicious, nutrient-rich food products. By growing the trifecta of corn, beans, and squash, we mimic the biodiversity found in natural ecosystems for naturally sustainable and resilient crops. Not only are our crops good for the earth, but they also contain complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and all eight essential amino acids, making a highly nutritious and complete, plant-based meal. Our food products are the best of their kind and, thanks to our polyculture growing methods, taste like no other.
