The theme for the 15th IUFoST World Congress of Food Science and Technology, “Food Science Solutions in an Evolving World” was chosen to highlight the important role food scientists will play globally in terms of research and education in topics such as food security, food safety, food preservation, food processing, consumer education and environmental sustainability.

IUFoST represents the global food science and technology fraternity, by nature a diverse discipline. The World Congress is the biennial gathering of the world’s food scientists and major food industry players. The meeting will highlight the latest knowledge and developments in various food science sectors and encourage debate and formulation of scientific solutions to global food issues. It is only through sharing that science-based solutions can be jointly facilitated.
