U.S.-based retailer Whole Foods Market has announced its annual food trend predictions for 2020.

The company forecasts 10 "on-the-rise" products, flavors, and food influences to find in their stores.

This is the fifth year that the company has predicted “anticipated and innovative food trends”.

Whole Foods' trends of 2020 include regenerative agriculture, West African foods and meat-plant blends.

Last year, the annual report predicted the popularity of hemp-infused and topical CBD products, eco-conscious packaging, and faux meat snacks.
