Food Transport in the 1980s

Changes in the transportation environment along with advancements in the technology of food production could have rather major impact on the nature of food movements and storage world-wide by the 1980s. Changes in world population growth is, of course, a major factor. However, technology alone will bring about many changes. Faster, more reliable and more economical transportation will allow us to exploit growing regions that are currently unused and new technology applied to processing and food preservation will allow new markets to be exploited in ways that are currently unfeasible.
