This is a great 99PI podcast about the US Army Natick center, which develops military rations.

Part of the mission is to develop the technology and then commercialize it. Now you have a number of factories that are capable of switching into ration production if the need arises.

Things like powdered cheese, condiment packets, and retort packaging came out of this research.

Off-topic, but my podcast list has been so enriched through reading HN comment. Thanks for the link.
