DESCRIPTION

We invite you to the open event “Modern Trends in the Food Industry”, which develops a platform for discussion with the main objective of highlighting the main challenges and opportunities of the agri-food sector. It is a fact that climate change and digital transformation have a decisive impact on the production methods of the primary sector of the economy, the food production and decision-making processes of agri-food businesses and consumer behaviour.

At the new JOIST event, issues such as food quality assurance, food safety systems, changes in food packaging, personalised nutrition based on the needs of each consumer, the adoption of new production methods and the integration of technology at all stages of production will be the focus of interest.

How well informed are businesses about developments in the agri-food sector? How far have they adapted to the relevant European standards? How and to what extent do modern food safety systems contribute to the business activities of the industry? How much do they also contribute to the upgrading of products and services in the sector? What is the necessity and role of “smart packaging” in the supply chain?

These are just some of the questions that will be discussed during the event, with the aim of creating a fruitful dialogue on new trends in the food industry. Register for free and be informed about the developments in the industry.

The event is addressed to:

  • Food companies
  • Food technologists and agronomists
  • Mechanical, chemical and materials engineers
  • Food safety certification bodies
  • Agri-food students, engineering students
  • Startupers and young professionals
