Join Us In Brazil

XVI IUFoST World Congress

August 2012

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 in Latin America for the first time.

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 in beautiful

Iguazu Falls, Brazil, 5 – 9 August 2012.

See you in Brazil next year!

“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
