European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST)

The European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST) facilitates knowledge and technology exchange among food professionals. EFFoST creates opportunities for food scientists, engineers, technologists, policymakers and companies to connect and collaborate, with the objective to enhance the uptake of new technologies and developments.
