The food industry is one of the largest employers by sector in the United States. Food contamination can occur anywhere along the food production process, from the "farm to fork." Goals for this workshop ---- Stimulate innovative approaches for improving food safety through advanced sensing and novel sampling methods. Highlight cutting-edge research in micro/nanotechnologies being applied to food safety sensing. Provide a forum for scientists and engineers to discuss synergies in current research. Enable the cross-pollination of ideas and stimulate the development of collaborative multidisciplinary teams. Facilitate a dialog between industry, regulatory agencies and the scientific community. Advance the field of micro/nanotechnology-based sensing for improved food.
