Around the globe young people have wonderful ideas how to protect our environment, how to reduce pollution and how to produce sufficient food to feed everybody, to end child hunger and to provide mothers with sufficient food for their families.
Food Science and Technology plays an important role in ensuring the health and wellbeing of people around the world and is essential to resolve food safety and sustainability challenges now and in the future. The solution is unique to each country even right down to communities within each country.
