Feeding the world’s population with safe, nutritious and affordable foods across the globe using finite resources is a challenge. The population of the world is increasing. There are two opposed sub-populations: those who are more affluent and want to decrease their caloric intake, and those who are malnourished and require more caloric and nutritional intake.
The food supply chain is becoming increasingly complex. For sustainable growth an increasingly integrated systems approach across the whole supply chain is required. The transfer of technology advances and innovations into industrial applications remains a challenge.
ICEF13 will address ‘The Application and Integration of Food Engineering Innovations across the Food Supply Chain’.
