As the world population grows, much more effort and innovation are required to sustainably increase agricultural production, food processing, improve the global food supply chain, decrease food losses and waste, and ensure that all have access to nutritious food. The World leaders reaffirmed the right of everyone to have access to safe and nutritious food. The challenges for achieving the targets set forth for United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals (SDG-s) are interconnected and cannot be addressed in isolation. Policies addressing priorities will be needed, but the prevailing governance model assigns malnutrition to the health sector and food insecurity to agriculture, resulting in a disjointed and uncoordinated framework, which may work at cross-purposes. The food system concepts has gained prominence in recent years amongst both scholars and policy-makers. Experts from diverse disciplines and backgrounds have particularly discussed the nature and origin of the “unsustainability” of our modern food systems.
A sustainable food system lies at the heart of the SDGs. The 17 SDGs provide a blueprint for current and future generations sustainable global development. In particular, SDG-2 focuses on Food Security and Nutrition (targeting zero hunger), achieving food security, eliminating malnutrition in all its forms, and promoting sustainable agriculture. SDG-12, a related goal, calls for responsible production and consumption. Our ability to achieve these goals will demand on some introspection concerning the current and future food production, fulfilling the global nutrition, and health demands. Therefore, the focus of this conference is on food sustainability SDGs, to disseminate and discuss the strategies of food and agriculture systems, achievement of food security, improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. It will seek to set Global Food Systems transformation stage to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
Thus, understanding the research and developments in food science and technology is vital in assessing the Food sustainable systems. This conference shall provide the platform to discuss trends and innovations in the field. In this context, Amity Institute of Food Technology announces, International Conference,” Amity Conference of Food Scientists and Technologists- AMIFOST-2022 on the theme “Food sustainability: challenges and opportunities for the future”, scheduled to be held on 29- 31 March 2022 at Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida. The conference will be hosted in online mode.
The Conference will bring together Food Laureates, Scientists, Researchers, Entrepreneurs, Academicians, Chemists, Dietitians, Nutritionists, Engineers, and Technologists from all over the world develop to discuss the sustainable solutions for improving food production, processing, security, quality, focusing on sustainable food production, and supply chain resilience.
