Neutrons & Food biannual workshops help identify the future scientific needs in the application of neutron scattering to Food Science, fostering new collaborations and developments.
Neutrons and Food is a biannual event to identify and address current and future scientific needs in the application of neutron research to Food Science.
The first in-person meeting since the pandemic finds the global food system and consumers worldwide under unprecedented pressures, with evolving consumer demands, climate change, food security and population growth. Promoting and strengthening neutron applications to food science and research is a major goal of the meeting. The challenge of developing healthier, sustainable food that tastes and looks appealing can no longer be met by empirical approaches. Understanding food from the atomic level to its macroscopic properties is fundamental to respond to fast evolving needs and transform the global food system.
