In this episode, Karina Zimerfeld, global vice president of R&D for Mars Food & Nutrition, discusses how her company is aiming to help at-home cooks address the three primary demands they have when it comes to meal planning and preparation.

Zimerfeld also talks about the technologies that have opened the door for companies to more easily address consumer demands today, and how Mars Food & Nutrition has begun to tap into artificial intelligence to analyze trends in support of its R&D work to stay on top of — or even ahead of — consumer preferences.
