Gaskin: Food technology comes to Massachusetts
There has been an explosion of investment in the food economy over the last few years and the latest food tech developments are as likely to come from MIT as Michigan State. The major developments fall into three main areas: increasing productivity while decreasing waste, increasing sustainability, and making healthier food to reduce rising healthcare costs.
Growing up in farm country, with a half-acre food and vegetable garden in my backyard, gave me a deep connection to the food we eat. My early experiences in 4-H, exhibiting at the county fair, and learning how to grow fruits and vegetables from seed packets shaped my understanding of food. I took a course in college titled “The Political Economy of Food and Nutrition.” My professor argued that many of the world’s most pressing issues — from poverty and regional warfare to the medical-industrial complex and climate change — ultimately connect to food.
In the U.S., we tend to assume that food will always be available on grocery store shelves and in restaurants. However, the COVID-19 pandemic provided a stark reminder of how fragile the food system can be in the face of disruption, with shortages and inflation affecting food availability. The reality is that more shocks to the food system are inevitable, whether from future pandemics, climate change, or other global crises. As we look ahead, three major trends are shaping the future of food:
Increasing Food Availability
Farming has always relied on innovation. To meet the growing global population’s food needs, two primary strategies have emerged: increasing yields and reducing waste. Precision farming technologies are at the forefront of this effort, employing GPS-guided tractors, drones, robotics, and vertical farming. These tools help maximize the use of space, conserve water, and control pests more efficiently than ever before.
Technological advancements extend beyond the farm itself. Supply chain management now benefits from advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), which predict consumer demand more accurately, thereby reducing overproduction. Blockchain technology is also being utilized to ensure transparency, improve food safety, and cut down on waste. Genomics continues to play a significant role in agriculture but is now paired with precision agriculture to optimize crop growth conditions based on genetic potential, leading to increased yields.
However, climate change complicates efforts to boost food productivity. Shifting weather patterns, extreme temperatures, and unpredictable rainfall are likely to make it harder to grow food in many regions, exacerbating food insecurity.
One of the most alarming statistics is that in the U.S., 30–40% of the food supply is wasted. Reducing this waste involves several initiatives, such as upcycling, zero waste food, using parts of food that were previously considered unusable and employing technologies that extend the freshness of produce. Efforts are also underway to redistribute food that would otherwise go to waste, channeling it to food banks and charities.
Enhancing Sustainability
The second major trend in the food industry focuses on producing food in a way that minimizes environmental impact. This includes sourcing insect protein.
One of the biggest shifts in this area is the rise of plant-based and alternative proteins, including lab-grown meat, plant-based seafood, and dairy substitutes. These innovations are designed to reduce the environmental burden of traditional livestock farming, which is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. Animal agriculture, especially meat production, has a substantial impact on deforestation, water use, and overall inefficiency in producing calories.
Sustainable agricultural practices, such as regenerative farming, are becoming increasingly important. Techniques like crop rotation, cover cropping, and reduced tillage help improve soil health while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Consumers are also seeking products that support carbon sequestration and have minimal ecological footprints.
Companies are also exploring compostable, biodegradable, reusable, and recyclable materials to reduce packaging waste and its environmental impact. These innovations are critical as consumers demand greater transparency and responsibility from food producers.
Sustainable seafood management and more sustainable livestock farming practices are also on the rise, aiming to ensure that both land and marine resources are used in a way that protects ecosystems while meeting the global demand for protein.
Food as Medicine
The concept of “food as medicine” has deep historical roots, with ancient Eastern and Western medical systems both emphasizing the healing properties of food. Today, the “food as medicine” movement is gaining broader recognition thanks to significant research and institutional support.
Institutions such as Tufts University’s School of Nutrition and Kaiser Permanente have published studies showing that food plays a crucial role in preventing and managing diseases like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. This research has helped legitimize the idea that diet can be as powerful as medicine in improving public health.
In 2022, President Biden hosted the first White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health in over 50 years. The conference aimed to address issues of hunger and diet-related diseases in the U.S., with the ambitious goal of ending hunger and improving diet quality by 2030. This initiative has focused federal attention on how diet can improve health outcomes.
Major organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation, the Aspen Institute, and the Milken Institute have also thrown their support behind food-as-medicine initiatives. In January 2024, the Rockefeller Foundation committed an additional $80 million in funding for these programs, bringing its total investment to over $100 million since 2019.
However, the concept of “food as medicine” is still evolving, and definitions can vary widely. For example, Rock Health reported that between 2023 and early 2024, $373 million was invested in 22 digital health startups that offered food-as-medicine products or services. Another report mentioned that eight food-as-medicine startups raised $400 million in funding.
Looking forward, we expect to see more personalized, or precision nutrition solutions based on an individual’s genetics. Advances in life sciences, particularly in microbiome research, will likely drive a new generation of nutraceuticals. Gender-specific and life-stage-specific nutritional solutions will also become more prevalent as we continue to learn about the unique dietary needs of different populations.

The single-digit seeds are starting to fall.
Saturday saw the first three top-five seeded teams sent home, with No. 3 St. John’s Prep boys’ hockey getting taken down by No. 14 Arlington Catholic in Division 1 action — the highest seed sent home through the first five days of the tournament.
The highest-ranked team to be bounced from the Division 2 boys’ hockey bracket became No. 5 Woburn. It fell, 2-1, to No. 12 Concord-Carlisle, which got an incredible 44-save performance from senior Sam Griswold and goals from Ben Brooks and Joe Grasso.
Division 3 also saw a top-five falter, as No. 5 Pembroke was clipped by No. 13 Norwood, 3-1, in the second round. John Lynch, Anthony Parise, and Mark Trahon provided the goals.
Not to be left out, Division 4 boys’ hockey also saw a significant upset, with No. 23 Bourne riding Jackson Palmborg’s 26 saves to a 3-2 first-round win over No. 10 Hudson.
On the hardcourt, No. 24 Pembroke boys’ basketball didn’t mind a morning ferry ride to Martha’s Vineyard, taking down the ninth-seeded hosts, 65-50, behind Will Farrell’s 24 points.
▪ Seventh-grader Effie Parsons found the net with 31 seconds left in overtime as No. 2 St. Mary’s girls’ hockey escaped a strong upset attempt from No. 18 Winchester, which led, 2-1, before Alyssa Norden tied it up in the third period.
▪ Reading sophomore Payton Curran not only delivered the equalizer in the final minute of regulation, but provided the overtime winner to lift the Rockets to a 3-2 girls’ hockey win over Waltham.
▪ Nantucket’s Gaven Smith forced overtime against Swampscott with a 3-pointer with nine seconds left in regulation, but the fourth-seeded Big Blue rode 26 points from Connor Chiarello and 25 from Teddy O’Neill to a 67-61 win over the No. 29 Whalers.
▪ No. 25 Bishop Fenwick girls’ hockey nearly upset No. 8 Bishop Stang, which would have eliminated both of last year’s Division 1 finalists, but the Spartans survived, 1-0, on junior Alexis Pettinato’s overtime winner.
▪ Braden LaChance netted the overtime winner for Taunton, which survived Middleborough, 3-2, in the third matchup between the two programs in 12 days. The Tigers won, 4-1, on Feb. 16 at Aleixo Arena before Middleborough prevailed, 4-0, on Feb. 18 at Bridgewater Ice Arena.
▪ Nico Santella scored on a stick-side snipe with 42.2 seconds left to propel St. John’s (Shrewsbury) past BC High, 2-1, in a Division 1 second-round matchup of Catholic Conference rivals.
Cal Atherton, Newburyport — The senior erupted for 31 points, guiding the Clippers to a first-round win over the defending Division 2 champions, Somerset Berkley.

Attleboro High has a new football coach. Lamont Penn, a Bridgewater-Raynham assistant under Eian Bain, will take over the Bombardiers. They went 3-8 last year under Jim Winters, who helmed the program for four seasons, going 14-30.
Penn served as Norwood’s offensive coordinator from 2018-21. He was introduced to the team Friday.
Providence junior Jon Mignacca, a Bishop Feehan graduate from Seekonk, won the Big East high jump championship, clearing 6 feet, 8.25 inches (2.04 meters) to beat out UConn’s Enaji Muhammad (6-7).
▪ UMass Dartmouth sophomore Ancil Alexander, a Taunton graduate, was named Little East Conference Field Athlete of the Year for men’s indoor track after taking second at the LEC Championships in the shot put (51 feet, 3.75 inches). He won the event three times during the season.

▪ With a layup in the waning seconds of the first half, Anna Freeman became the 10th Medway player, and first since Riley Childs in 2018, to score 1,000 career points. She finished the 55-24 Division 3 first-round win over St. Paul with 17. Her father, Matt Freeman, scored 1,000 points at Bishop Feehan.
▪ Burlington boys’ basketball senior Matty Gray reached 1,000 career points during a 25-point performance in a 95-58 Division 2 first-round rout of Holliston. He reached the mark on a first-quarter layup.
Now for Matty Gray! Scores his 1000th point and no surprise on a steal! Just does it all. Such a special player and person. Humble, hard-working, kind, and tough. Lucky to coach him! A kid who certainly could have left, but chose to put his town across his chest and he’s…🧵 pic.twitter.com/UXFsEuZH6R

▪ Falmouth boys’ hockey senior Kody Pokraka rode two assists to 100 career points during a 5-4 Division 2 first-round win over Plymouth South.
It was a chalky day, with only one significant upset: No. 22 Greater Lawrence girls’ basketball easily handling No. 11 Hamilton-Wenham, 65-45, in the Division 4 first round thanks to 13 3-pointers as a team and a combined 47 points from Serenity West (24) and Maliah Caban (23).
The only other lower seeds to win were No. 18 Marshfield boys’ basketball, which took out No. 15 Cambridge, 66-63, in overtime in the Division 1 first round, and No. 34 Arlington Catholic boys’ basketball, which survived No. 31 Duxbury, 64-60, in Division 2 preliminary-round action.
The finish of the night came in No. 17 South Hadley’s 61-60 win over No. 16 Madison Park. Trailing 60-59 and inbounding with 10.3 seconds left, the Tigers got an off-balance 3-pointer, but junior Noah Hambley crashed the boards and in one fell swoop secured the rebound and put it back up off the glass for the winning bucket as time expired in a boys’ basketball Division 4 first-round matchup.
The Oliver Ames boys got four free throws from Jacob Lok in the final 26 seconds to squeak past Canton, 45-42, in the first round of the Division 2 bracket. The Acton-Boxborough girls also needed overtime to complete a 53-49 Division 1 first-round triumph over Brookline.
The only overtime hockey game of the night saw the Diman boys net an equalizer in the final minute of regulation before Marlborough’s Ethan Guo supplied the heroics just 2:08 into the extra frame, propelling the No. 8 Panthers into the Division 3 second round with a 6-5 victory. Anthony Tramontozzi and Chace Lozano each scored twice for Marlborough
Caroline Arruda, Marshfield — The sophomore poured in 32 points to push the Rams to a 68-63 preliminary-round win over Westborough.
Gaby Bassett, Nauset/Monomoy — The senior capped her hat trick with the winning goal in a 4-3 Division 2 opening-round win over Burlington.
Brody Bumila and Jake Webster, Bishop Feehan — The seniors took control of an 85-67 Division 1 first-round victory, with Bumila providing 32 points and 14 rebounds and Webster going for 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Avery Gamble, Oliver Ames — The senior’s 3-point shot wasn’t falling, but she didn’t let that get in the way of a 34-point performance, 2 off her career best, during a 59-50 Division 2 first-round win over Bedford.
Eileen Lowther, Hingham — The junior controlled the glass, pulling down 15 rebounds and blocking six shots to go with 12 points in a 54-43 Division 2 first-round win.
Mollie Mullen, Bishop Feehan — The senior from Dighton delivered 21 points, 9 steals, and 5 assists as the No. 2 Shamrocks rolled to a 71-30 Division 1 first-round victory over Peabody.
Maura Quirk, Acton-Boxborough — The sophomore was cleaning the glass to the tune of 17 rebounds while adding 13 points in a 53-49 overtime win in the first round of the Division 1 bracket.
Senior Sophia O’Donnell made history, becoming the first St. Mary’s athlete to sign to become a Division 1 rower. O’Donnell will row for Merrimack.
Milton Academy graduate Cormac Ryan signed a two-way NBA contract with the Bucks on Thursday, making him the fourth former member of the Middlesex Magic AAU program currently in the NBA, along with The Pistons’ Duncan Robinson, Hornets’ Pat Connaughton, and Knicks’ Tyler Kolek.
Ryan, who hails from New York, was a three-time All-NEPSAC selection at Milton Academy before playing at Stanford, Notre Dame, and North Carolina. He spent the last two seasons in the G League with the Oklahoma City Blue and Wisconsin Herd. He played with the Thunder’s Summer League team in 2024.
Quinnipiac junior Anna Foley, a 6-foot-3-inch Andover graduate, was celebrated for reaching 1,000 points during a ceremony Friday. She passed the mark on Feb. 12 in a 62-40 victory over Siena. A two-time All-MAAC second team selection, she’s averaging 9.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
