On October 20, a conference will be held under the title Food research in a changing world, where national research and new trends in food science will be presented.
Food Day 2016 held at Hotel Natura on October 20 at 12-17.
The keynote speaker will be Bryndís Skúladóttir from the Confederation of Icelandic Industries, which deals with food production and the environment and Hörður Kristinsson, Director of Research and Innovation at Matís, discusses new and revolutionary technologies in food production. A number of other interesting lectures will be at the conference, but the full program can be seen here.
Food science and food production face new and challenging challenges related to, among other things, limited resources and the increase in the world's population, which places greater demands on the quality and hygiene of food. What will our food look like in the future, and by what means can we feed the world for decades to come? So much so, it is certain that research plays a key role in finding the answers to these questions. Ingenious use of resources, hygiene and the environment will be the focus of food development in the coming decades, and this will be discussed at the conference held by the Icelandic Food and Nutrition Association, MNI.
Fjöregg Samtaka iðnaðarinn, which is awarded for a praiseworthy initiative in the field of food, will be presented at the conference.
The conference is open to everyone and is registration on the MNÍ website.
