In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, talks to Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST) CEO, Fiona Fleming, about the critical role of food science and Australia’s food and beverage industry.
We start with an overview of AIFST, as a not-for-profit industry body with the goal to advance and inspire all food sector professionals through education, collaboration, and recognition to champion a robust, innovative science based Australian food industry to meet future food needs. The discussion reviews the major changes in food science, the valuable education publications AIFST has available, and some of the major topics discussed at the AIFST24 Convention. The discussion also explores AIFST’s commitment to supporting and fostering the careers of the next generation of food scientists, the focus on improving food safety and technology, and the necessity for a national food plan.
We wrap up with a call out to the industry to further invest in food science and collaboration with others in the industry.
