With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. ____17____ —it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to \another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.
Sustainability
According to a new study, the global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. ____18____ 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock \requirements.
