SFDF / IFST / REHIS Symposium 2010

Over 95 representatives from the food and drink industry, government, regulators and other key stakeholders attended the SFDF 8th Annual Symposium on 22 April 2010 in Edinburgh.

Hosted in conjunction with the Institute of Food Science and Technology and The Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland, it lived up to expectations by setting the scene in helping to identify solutions to the pressures facing the future of the industry: Food security, feeding a growing global population, the impact of climate change, securing a sustainable food industry, and the potential role of GM and other technologies, were the big topics of the debate.
