The Food Disruption Map shows the feasibility and acceptance of present and future innovations. The technology axis describes how far the feasibility of an innovation has advanced. The acceptance axis describes the extent to which an innovation is anchored in a population’s mindset. The combination of these axes produces four quadrants:
