What is 'feeding our future'?
IFST is looking to grow and feed the future of the food profession. If you have been working in a technical role in the food sector at a senior level for over 10 years you are invited to join IFST and "pay it forward". Your membership fee will fund an early career professional with less than 10 years of experience to join us free of charge for the first year.
Benefits of getting involved
As well as becoming an IFST member yourself, feeding our future is a great chance to give something back. Do you have a colleague that you feel deserves recognition? The scheme enables you to provide an early career professional with the benefits that IFST membership offers, including access to our knowledge resources and events, our food science community, professional development, and recognition.

IFST demonstrates its commitment to growing the technical food profession by investing in our ‘Feeding our Future’ campaign during 2021-22. For each new nominated senior IFST member who joins us (the first 150 to apply), IFST will fund joining and membership fees for another individual nominated by the new joiner, as long as they meet our Associate member criteria. IFST will approach key individuals who are not existing members and invite them to join and nominate. Individuals are also able to nominate themselves and must have been working in the food profession in a senior role for at least 10 years. We encourage all new members to share their achievements on social media in line with our member social media guidelines.
