We are currently in the science and technology age and a lot has been invented to make life easier for everyone, there's as been great innovation in the food making and selling business over the years and this innovations have made food businesses grow rapidly and extend more quality services.
I will like to divide these innovations into three categories, we have the “Planting and Harvesting, Food processing and finally the food selling category” now let's take each of these categories one by one and see the effects of science and technology in them.
Planting and Harvesting
When it comes to food the first thing is production of the raw materials needed in making the food, for example if I want to make bread I will need materials like Flour, sugar, milk, e t.c, all these raw materials don't just disappear from heaven they are planted and harvested.
I can tell you from first hand experience planting and Harvesting is very difficult and stressful especially if there is no modern day technology. Talking about modern day technology, in the past our fore father's made use of cutlass, hoes and manual equipment on the farms, and these types of equipment makes the work slow and tiring, but now with technology like tractor, harvester and the workload of planting and Harvesting crops have been made faster, easy and top quality.
Food processing
Now to the second category, and this category is made use by everyone of us in our day to day cooking at homes, and restaurants. We have equipment like blender used for smoothning a lot of our raw materials instead of spending time and energy grinding thing like pepper or fruit all it takes is just our blended doing the grinding for us with just a push of button.
Over the years new innovations keep coming from manual grinding to manual blenders to electricity blenders and other equipment like our microwave, freezer, sandwich maker, oven for baking and a whole lots of equipment have made cooking easier and faster plus done in top quality in our homes , small and big restaurants who extend services to large number of people.Buying and selling
This is my favorite category because I really don't do planting and Harvesting anymore or do too much of cooking but I do buy and order food online. Talking about ordering food online science and technology has help with innovations like advertising food to potential customers online through social network like WhatsApp, Facebook, instagram, Twitter and even on a blockchain network like STEEMIT one can meet potential customers and make payments through steem token.
During the covid-19 lockdown period ordering food online blew up and it's obvious it is here to stay, I myself makes use of online food ordering apps and make purchase of food online, because it relief the stress of walking to the restaurant of my choice and also it's more faster and efficient.
Here are some screenshots of my orders from a food app online.
These are the pictures of the food order and receipt and also the picture of the food after it was delivered.
Enough of too much talk, we all can see how science and technology has boosted the food business in our various countries and also making of food in our various homes much more easier and stress free. Science and technology is life and science never stops, thank you for reading see you next time.
