A change in the profile of food consumption is occurring because of the new context of demographic growth, the increase of income in developing economies, and urbanization.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of innovation on a key Brazilian food industry: wheat product markets. Results showed that while most firms did not innovate in the past year, new investments in R & D were important for innovation to occur compared to other factors such as the size of the company, the integration in supply chain, and the age of the company.
