It is with immense pleasure that we invite you to participate in the XVI IUFoST World Congress of Food Science and Technology, to be held for the first time in Latin America.
With the theme "Addressing global food security and wellness through Food Science and Technology", this Congress will highlight current global food problems, discuss cutting edge research solutions and provide opportunities for international collaborations between the academe and the industrial sector. For a look at the scientific programme topics, visit: http://www.iufost.org.br/ingles/prog_cientifica.html
Brazil and Latin America have developed into a major food-producing region with excellent human resources, an expanding and dynamic food industry, along with unequal biodiversity that can permit new technologies to be applied in obtaining high-quality and innovative food products.
We are confident that the presence of renowned invited speakers, combined with the support of IUFoST, the global organisation for food science and technology and the participation of food professionals from many countries, will make this congress informative, memorable and productive, allowing joint efforts in coping with formidable present and future challenges.
Please mark your calendar now and plan to join us
at beautiful Iguazu Falls, Brazil from 5 - 9 August 2012.
Glaucia Pastore, Congress Chair Geoffrey Campbell-Platt, IUFoST President
"the problem of food insecurity ...will not be solved by food science and technology alone nor even by science alone; but it will certainly not be solved without the contribution of science and of food science and technology" -- From the IUFoST Cape Town Declaration
