The Institute of Food Technologists, a nonprofit scientific organization committed to advancing the science of food and its application across the global food system, has released a white paper that examines how existing and novel processing technologies could help improve global food and nutrition security.
"Food Science and Technology Solutions to Improve Food and Nutrition Security: Sustainable Production of Nutritious Foods Through Processing Technology" is the result of a virtual roundtable discussion organized by IFT’s Food & Nutrition Security Steering Committee that focused on utilizing existing and novel processing technologies to help better preserve nutritional quality. The committee, formed in 2021, previously organized a roundtable on the biggest food loss and waste challenges, resulting in the release of a white paper earlier this year.
