We are pleased to announce that IFST has signed a joint declaration to transform the agri-food sector in Europe into a more competitive, sustainable and trusted sector, securing the production of safe, nutritious food that every consumer loves.
The declaration has been issued by the European Federation of Food Science (EFFoST), together with the European Technology Platform ‘Food for Life’, EIT Food, FoodDrinkEurope, Food Nexus and FOODforce.
The signatories of the declaration share a common vision to create a broad, pan-European movement with the citizen at its heart, connecting and leveraging all actors and initiatives underway. They call on the European Commission and Member States to support this strategy through a comprehensive program in FP9, targeting technological solutions in food security, sustainable farming, food safety and healthy nutrition.
