The production, the delivery, the disposal and recycling of goods will be fully automatized.
Here are the technologies we intend to develop and prioritize:

The bio-replicator
Our progress in nanotechnology will soon allow us to manufacture any object atom by atom, layer by layer.
It is the ultimate machine. The machine that can produce all what we can imagine as long as it is made of atoms. That includes your food, your car and the chair you seat on.
When this machine will become operational, one of its first assignement will be to duplicate itself so as to make one available to every household.
No need to produce and be delivered goods, no need to shop any more, everything we need can be made at home with the matter extracted from the ground under our feet.
All new products could be duplicated almost instantly all over the world. It is like having a fax machine but it makes 3D objects. All you need is to download the information from the model.
An exact carbon copy of your favorite dish will materialize almost instantly right in front of your eyes.
This invention may take some time but it will definitely solve all the problem of food production.
While waiting for the bio-replicator, many other innovations in food production can be used.
